A method by an electromagnetic device includes determining a pattern of electromagnetic energy absorbed by a load disposed inside a cavity into which electromagnetic radiation is directed and generating one or more maps of the pattern of electromagnetic energy absorbed by the load. The one or more maps comprises an indication of a distribution of heating within the load. The method further includes determining, based on the one or more maps, a plurality of sequences of operating parameter combinations configured so as to heat the load via absorption of the electromagnetic radiation in accordance with a target temperature profile with respect to the load. The method thus includes emitting electromagnetic radiation into the cavity based on the plurality of sequences of operating parameter combinations to achieve the target temperature profile with respect to the load.

In one embodiment, a method includes, by an electromagnetic device, accessing multiple previously recorded heating maps corresponding to a load disposed inside a cavity, where each heating map indicates a temperature profile change of the load as a function of one or more control parameter configurations, accessing a target temperature profile of the load, measuring a current temperature profile of the load, calculating a difference in temperature profiles between the current temperature profile of the load and the target temperature profile of the load, determining a first sequence of control parameter configurations to heat the load, wherein the first sequence is optimized to yield a temperature rise that achieves the target temperature profile of the load, emitting electromagnetic radiation into the cavity based on the first sequence of control parameter configurations.
