COMMENTS:

Again, since glass will not vaporize, it does not require a lot of laser power.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

Glass engraving is different from other types of engraving. A CO2 laser cannot engrave into the glass
nor can it cut glass. Instead, laser interaction with glass causes the surface of the glass to appear
frosted. Sometimes, placing a piece of newspaper on the glass and dampening it with water will
improve the appearance of the engraving.
