    Abstract: A good way to avoid extreme current levels when supplying large amounts of power is to increase the voltage. The easiest way to do this is connecting the radiation elements (e.g. laser diode pixels) in series (La1 to La-n). In such a pixelated driver, the amount of components and complexity per pixel are reduced by connecting as many radiation elements as possible in series, supplying the string by one current controlled driver (Is), shortening pixels which should be in off state by a switch in parallel (40-1 to 40-n) to the radiation element, storing binary on/off information (30-1 to 30-n) for each pixel locally, creating a floating supply (20-1 to 20-n) for the switches, and managing information transfer to the floating storage and switches.

    Abstract: The invention describes a laser printing system (100) for illuminating an object (70) in a working plane (80). The object (70) moves relative to a print head (50) of the laser printing system (100). The print head (50) comprises a total number of laser modules (150), each laser module (150) comprises at least one laser array (110) of lasers (115). At least two of the laser modules (150) share an electrical power supply (20). The laser printing system (100) further comprises a controller (10) being adapted such that at maximum processing speed of the print head (50) only a predefined number of laser modules (150) can be driven at nominal electrical power, wherein the predefined number of laser modules (150) is smaller than the total number of laser modules. The invention further relates to a corresponding method of laser printing. The laser printing system and the method allow designing the laser printing system for, for example, only 20% of the total power which would be required to drive all lasers at nominal electrical power while having only slightly reduced processing speed.
