RE: Laser cutting Lexan
You may also consider blowing cold nitrogen on the cutting area as you cut. Well, you could try AIR first (it's cheaper, use a venturi chiller), then move to N2 if air doesn't do well.
If the discoloration is due to a chemical reaction to the light wavelength, then I guess you're in a pickle.
