Abstract:
Systems and techniques for optimizing the operation of a beam emitter during material processing maintain an optimal polarization of the beam with respect to the material throughout processing—e.g., even as the beam path varies or the nature or thickness of the material changes.

Claim (Index 30):
A method of processing a workpiece using an optical beam, the method comprising:\n receiving a desired one-dimensional processing path extending across at least a portion of a surface of the workpiece; computationally determining a consistent polarization for the beam along the path based at least in part on at least one of (i) a composition of the workpiece along the path, (ii) a thickness of the workpiece along the path, or (iii) a processing direction along the path; operating a beam emitter to direct the beam along the path to process the workpiece, the beam having an output polarization; and controlling the output polarization of the beam so as to maintain the consistent polarization of the beam as the beam traverses the path.
