How Can Your Photo Be Frozen Inside a Crystal Block?
Certain gifts feel very common as soon as you open their wrapping. A laser-engraved photo crystal feels nothing like that. You are holding a memory in your hands; it is tangible, three-dimensional, and everlasting. What Actually Happens Inside the Crystal? This process involves a special laser pulse that is used to produce very small micro-fractures within a solid block of clear material. A white dot is formed by every pulse. The combination of thousands of these dots creates a complete image in 3D inside the crystal. The laser does not have direct contact with the surface. Everything happens from within. This is what makes the result so impressive; the picture seems to be suspended in the glass. Manufacturers require a professional laser, which has a 532nm wavelength of green light. This wavelength provides high energy and accurate pulses without breaking the crystal. Normal desktop lasers just cannot be compared to that detail.
