1. A method of generating a particular crystalline orientation in at least one section of a thin film sample, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) arranging the thin film sample in a first position;

    (b) irradiating at least one portion of the at least one section of the thin film sample to form at least one polycrystalline section of the thin film sample, the at least one polycrystalline section having an approximately uniform crystalline orientation in a first direction;

    (c) arranging the thin film sample to be in a second position with respect to the at least one beam pulse, the second position being approximately perpendicular relative to the first position; and

    (d) irradiating the at least one polycrystalline section of the thin film sample arranged in the second position so as to provide an approximately uniform crystalline orientation in a second direction, the second direction being approximately perpendicular relative to the first direction, wherein the at least one polycrystalline section of the thin film sample has an approximately uniform crystalline orientation in both the first direction and the second direction.
