Crystal Laser Etching

how 3D Laser Etched crystals are made?

My friend has got one glass key chain inside some art work is done. I wonder how they have made that art work inside the glass.

The manufactures take a couple of lasers (2-3), each laser not having enough heat/energy to melt the crystal. Then they cause the lasers to intersect at each point that they want one of those little bubbles to appear and where the lasers intersect they add their energy together and melts the crystal. the placement of each dot is controlled by a 3-d graphics design inside of a computer.

3D Laser Etched Crystal Portrait

How are patterns made in glass crystal?

Am not sure if my question is clear.
I have seen some show-case items which have various 3D patterns like dolphins, aircrafts etched inside a glass crystal. How do they do this? do they use any laser technology? Can anyone give me some links on where i can learn how this is done.

Thanks!

The patterns are laser etched. The laser is focused on a point inside the crystal and the instantaneous heat forms a small fracture. They control the depth and location to give a 3-D effect. Pretty cool, huh?
