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 19):
A system for processing a workpiece along a path extending across at least a portion of a surface of the workpiece, a composition and/or a thickness of the workpiece changing at one or more points along the path, the system comprising:\n a beam emitter; a positioning device for varying a position, of a beam of the beam emitter, at which the beam is emitted onto a surface of the workpiece; a variable polarizer for varying a polarization of the beam; and a controller, coupled to the positioning device and the polarizer, for (i) operating the beam emitter to cause the beam to traverse the path for processing of the workpiece, and (ii) maintaining a consistent polarization of the beam with respect to the workpiece along the path, the controller being configured to alter the polarization of the beam at the one or more points along the path at which the composition and/or the thickness of the workpiece changes.
