title: Pulse-to-pulse polarization-switching method for high-repetition-rate lasers.
abstract: We report a method that enables dynamic switching of the pulse-to-pulse linear polarization orientation of a high-pulse-rate laser. The implications for laser micromachining, where polarization direction can be important, are also discussed.
