摘要:
A system for eliminating differential scan line bow from raster output scanners aligns at least the chief exit ray (66, 67) of each scanning light beam (61, 62) with the system axis (65). By aligning the chief exit rays to be essentially parallel to the system axis, the overall bow is reduced, and the bow of different scan lines (63, 64) is essentially identical. Thus, bowed scan lines from different stations in a multi-station printer, or from different passes in a multi-pass printer are generally identical and aligned.
摘要:
A telecentric imaging optical system comprises first and third lens systems each having a positive power, and a second lens system having a negative power. In the imaging optical system, the second lens system is disposed between the first and the third lens systems. The imaging optical system satisfies the following inequalities:
f1/2.5 f3/2.5
where f1 is the focal length of the first lens system, f2 is that of the second lens system and f3 is that of the third lens system. A rear focal point of a composite lens system consisting of the first and the second lens systems substantially coincides with the front focal point of the third lens system. The telecentric imaging optical system has a large variable power ratio.
