Claim 0:
1. A laser control system for controlling a laser array, the system comprising:
a position sensor configured to detect a position of the laser array within a two-dimensional plane and generate a position signal, wherein the laser array comprises a plurality of laser energy sources; and
a first processor configured to receive the position signal from the position sensor, split the position signal, and transmit the split position signal to a plurality of laser control modules, the plurality of laser control modules configured to provide synchronized, position-based control of the plurality of laser energy sources,
wherein each laser control module is configured to control operation of a subset of the plurality of laser energy sources of the laser array, and wherein each laser control module includes at least one processor configured to trigger one or more laser energy sources of the subset of the plurality of laser energy sources based at least in part on the split position signal received from the first processor.
