    摘要: A three-color laser scanner using a holographically-generated plane linear grating disk (hologon). The disk includes peripherally-arranged facets having identical multiplexed diffraction gratings. Each multiplexed grating is formed from plural superimposed interference patterns accumulated by multiple exposures to light from a single monochromatic laser beam source. The multiplexed grating is optimized to diffract certain light wavelengths in a single, multichromatic (plural wavelength) input laser beam. The diffracted output beam comprises respective wavelength beam components that simultaneously scan in collinear fashion. Modulation of the plural wavelength components in the incident beam allows the output beam to scan expose a multicolor image at the image plane.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is provided for line scanning a beam receiving member, wherein a scanning beam is angularly or laterally displaced to compensate for scan line spacing error. The beam is displaced according to error arising from variation (flutter) in the relative motion of the beam and the beam receiving member, or according to error arising from movement of the receiving member while the scanning beam travels to a start of scan position, or both. Embodiments of beam displacement means include a refracting tilt plate, a reflecting tilt plate, a diffracting tilt plate, and a tilt prism.

    摘要: A multichannel integrated optics modulator is disclosed that generates one or more independently modulated scanning beams. The integrated optics modulator includes at least one waveguide channel provided on an electro-optic substrate, wherein the waveguide channel is divided into a write waveguide channel that extends to an output side of the substrate and a dead-end waveguide channel that terminates before reaching the output side of the substrate. Control signals are selectively applied to electrodes provided above the dead-end waveguide channel and the write waveguide channel to control the coupling of light from the write waveguide channel to the dead-end waveguide channel. Light is coupled out of the dead-end waveguide channel through the use of an absorber located above an end region of the dead-end channel. The integrated optics modulator is incorporated in a variety of scanner mechanisms.

    摘要: Moire patterns in raster-scanned halftone dots image screens generated by multi-element line scanner devices are rendered imperceptible to the human eye by selecting the number of elements in the line scanner device to be that number which makes the "once-around" scanner frequency an integral multiple of the halftone dot screen frequency and makes the beat frequencies between the scanner and frequencies either fall outside the nominal visible spatial frequency range of about 2.5 to 250 lines per inch or fall on the screen frequency.

    摘要: A scanner including a source of coherent light, a radial hologon, a f.theta. lens and a target. Between the light source and the hologon there are means for forming light from the source into a collimated beam having an oblong cross-sectional shape and for directing the beam onto the hologon at a predetermined incident angle and with the long axis of the oblong cross-sectional shape of the beam radial of the axis of rotation of the hologon. Prismatic means are provided between the hologon and the lens means for so modifying the cross-sectional shape of the beam that the spot at the target station has a selected shape and orientation. This allows the shape, orientation and size of the beam on the hologon to be optimum for duty cycle of the hologon and for spot size on the target. The prismatic means allows the spot shape and orientation on target to be optimized. The prismatic means tends to introduce undesirable bow into the scan line, therefore the wavelength of the light and the grating factor (n .lambda.)/d of the hologon are selected to produce an approximately equivalent opposite bow.

    摘要: Laser beam scanning system combines multiple light beams, each of differing wavelengths, to achieve a multiple wavelength scan exposure of a medium, or to increase throughput by writing plural lines simultaneously, or to provide one or more scanning beams of selected wavelength. A polarizing beam splitting prism of the Thompson type is employed as a multiple input beam combiner. The two input laser beam components can be made selectively coincident or closely parallel to form an output beam which is then redirected in a scanning motion and focused to an exposure plane.

    摘要: A two level image writer (10) forms an image from digital data onto a photosensitive medium. A first level illumination system has a first source (20) for emitting a first polarized light beam having a first color; a second source (22) for emitting a second polarized light beam having a second color; and a third source (26) for emitting a third polarized light beam having a third color. A fold mirrors directs each beam to a second level. Three polarizing beamsplitters (73, 75, 77) on the second level receive the polarized beams from the fold mirrors and isolate polarization states of each of the first, second, and third polarized light beam. Three spatial light modulators (90, 95, 97) on the second level modulate the first, second, and third polarized light beam from the polarizing beamsplitter prisms to form an array of image pixels according to said digital data. A diechroic combiner (86) combines the three modulated light beams.
