Abstract:
A method for forming an article includes: forming a melt pool; exposing the melt pool to an optical beam having at least one beam characteristic; forming a keyhole cavity in the melt pool, the keyhole cavity having at least one keyhole cavity property; and modifying the at least one beam characteristic in response to a change in the keyhole cavity property.

Claim (Index 28):
An optical beam system, comprising:\n an optical beam delivery device, comprising\n a first length of fiber having a first refractive-index profile (RIP), \n a second length coupled to the first length of fiber and having a second RIP and one or more confinement regions, and \n a perturbation device configured to modify one or more beam characteristics of an optical beam in one or more of the first length of fiber and the second length of fiber, wherein the first RIP differs from the second RIP and wherein the second RIP is configured to confine at least a portion of the modified one or more beam characteristics of the optical beam within the one or more confinement regions of the second length of fiber; and \n a sensor that generates a signal in response to sensing a signature of a keyhole cavity property; and a feedback subsystem in communication with the optical beam delivery device and the sensor, wherein the feedback subsystem comprises:\n at least one memory to store data and instructions; and \n at least one processor configured to receive the signal, access the at least one memory, and execute the instructions.
