1. A laser system, comprising:
one or more laser devices including a plurality of emitters, wherein the plurality of emitters output a plurality of energy streams, the plurality of energy streams having associated operating windows, each of the associated operating windows having a window size that is a multiple of a base window interval;
a plurality of filters that receive the plurality of energy streams and determine temperature values for each energy stream of the plurality of energy streams at base window intervals; and
a summing module that receives the temperature values at a coordinated interval associated with the associated operating windows of the plurality of energy streams and in accordance with instructions provided by the summing module to the plurality of filters at the base window intervals, wherein the summing module further compiles sets of laser temperature values received from the plurality of filters over the coordinated interval, the coordinated interval being a combined interval based on a common multiple of window sizes for the associated operating windows of respective energy streams of the plurality of energy streams.
