Abstract (en)

A method (100), an arrangement (200) and a program are provided for processing an item (215). The arrangement comprises a source (210) for emitting electromagnetic radiation towards an item, a sensor (220) for sensing a temperature distribution of the item, and a controller (230) coupled to the source and sensor. The method comprises the steps of: providing (110) a collection of n parameter settings, BB, of the source, providing (120) a vector, p, and controlling (130) a setting of the source by selecting (140) a parameter setting in the collection of parameter settings, BB, based on a predetermined criterion of the vector, p; applying (150) the selected parameter setting via the controller for operating the source for emitting electromagnetic radiation towards the item, and updating (160) the vector, p, as a function of the temperature distribution of the item sensed by the sensor, until a predetermined threshold has been reached.
