The process of subjecting glass to temperature cycling to produce physico-chemical reactions that alter its properties. Similar processes can be accomplished with a laser -- most commonly a CO2, Nd:YAG or Nd:glass laser -- in certain kinds of metalworking including surface hardening, cladding, alloying and glazing (skin melting).
