Abstract:
The photoconductive range of a photoconductive polymer can be extended to include longer wavelengths, and/or the photo-induced discharge rate of a photoconductive polymer can be increased by incorporating effective amounts of clusters of IIB-VIB, IIB-VB, IIIB-VB, IIIB-VIB, IB-VIB and/or IVB-VIIB semiconductors, said clusters having a size within the range of from about 0.001 .mu.m to 10 .mu.m. Compositions comprising a photoconductive polymer and an effective amount of said clusters may be used in electrostatic imaging processes.
Abstract:
An optical scanning method is described in which a device essentially comprises a rotational optical system S and a working plane W fed in a predetermined direction. The optical system forms the image of a stationary point A at point B on the working plane W. The image point is scanned along a circular are by rotating the optical system around the rotational axis. In a preferred device, point A lies approximately on the rotational axis and point B lies off the rotational axis. And the circular arc generated by the scanning of point B is in the working plane approximately perpendicular to the rotational axis. A 2-dimensional scanning is completed by the rotation of the optical system around the rotational axis and the translation of the working plane in a predetermined direction, which is synchronized with the rotation of the optical system. When the radiation beam E propagates from point A to B, the device is for information writing in (e.g. lithography) and the working plane is a recording medium. When the radiation beam E propagates from the working plane to point A, the device is for information reading-out or pattern acquisition, in which a point detector is positioned right behind point A. This optical scanning method can be used in visible, UV, IR or soft x-ray waveband, providing, at the same time, large field of view, high resolution and very high data rate.
