An exposure unit (10) includes first and second exposure heads (1A, 1B). The first exposure head (1A) includes: first light emitting devices (15A) each emitting a first light beam (L15A); a first optical system (11A) performing imaging of each of the first light beams (L15A); a first coupler (18A); and a first base member (12A). The first coupler (18A) is provided at a first position (P1), in the first base member (12A), based on a position at which the imaging performed by the first optical system (11A) is performed. The second exposure head (1B) includes: second light emitting devices (15B) each emitting a second light beam (L15B); a second optical system (11B) performing imaging of each of the second light beams (L15B); a second coupler (18B); and a second base member (12B). The second coupler (18B) is provided at a second position (P2), in the second base member (12B), based on a position at which the imaging performed by the second optical system (11B) is performed and is fit into the first coupler (18A).

A line head includes a substrate, light emitting elements disposed on the substrate, drive circuits that drive the light emitting elements, and wirings that electrically connect the drive circuits and the light emitting elements. The light emitting elements form n (n≥2) light emitting element rows. The drive circuits are electrically connected with the wirings to light emitting elements belonging to a number of light emitting element rows equal to or smaller than n-1.

An imaging system. An array of light sources and an array of lenses corresponding to the light sources and having optical axes substantially parallel to one another are provided. The lenses produce collimated output beams. An afocal optical relay having an optical axis substantially parallel to the optical axes of the lenses is also included, the array of lenses being positioned relative to the afocal optical relay so as to form an optical system that produces an image of each collimated output beam on an image plane, each image having a prescribed depth of focus and spot size. The light sources preferably are lasers producing an array of respective laser beams having high intensity and a long waist. A system for writing information on a light-sensitive label includes the imaging system. Methods of imaging and of writing information on a light-sensitive label are also provided.

The present invention relates to a VCSEL device comprising an optical gain medium (8) arranged between a first DBR (9) and a second DBR (7). The first and the second DBR form a laser cavity and are designed to allow self-contained lasing in the laser cavity,said second DBR (7) being partially transparent for laser radiation resonating in the laser cavity. An optical element is arranged on a side of the second 5 DBR (7) outside of the laser cavity on the optical axis of the laser cavity. The optical element has a concave surface (5) facing the second DBR (7) and being designed to reflect a portion of laser radiation emitted through the second DBR (7) back into the laser cavity. The ratio R/d of the radius of curvature R of the concave surface (5) and the distance d between the concave surface (5) and the gain medium (8) is in the range 10 between 1 and 2. With the proposed VCSEL device a high power output with an improved mode distribution and mode stabilization is achieved.
