USPTO published a patent application (US20260090917A1) for a laser energy control system with interworking capabilities. The system comprises a laser configured to emit electromagnetic radiation in laser pulses and a controller that obtains an indication of an interworking control scheme for communicating with the laser system. The controller is further configured to receive inputs from an input device and communicate with the laser system for control based on those inputs according to the interworking control scheme.
