    摘要: An inexpensive and highly productive exposure device for directly scanning and exposing a photosensitive material sensitive to at least a UV region, based on digital data. As a motor controller moves an exposure head at a fixed speed in Y direction, image data is read one line of image data, each GLV element of a light modulator array is switched on/off by the read image data, and laser light from a high power light source of the exposure head is switched on/off. A UV-sensitive object to be exposed is exposed in X direction in a number of pixel units that substantially corresponds to the number of the GLV elements. The image data is scanned and exposed by one line in Y direction (main-scan). The motor controller moves a flat stage by one step in X direction (sub-scan). The object to be exposed is imagewise-exposed by repeating such scans.

    摘要: An optical wiring substrate fabrication method capable of simple formation, by maskless exposure, of an inclined face shape at an end portion of a core layer structuring an optical waveguide. Using an exposure apparatus, image exposure is carried out with a light beam which is modulated by a spatial modulation element in accordance with image information. A predetermined area of a photosensitive material (a photoresist), which is coated on the core layer which is a material of the optical wiring substrate, is exposed by a light beam (UV) and patterned to form an etching mask. A region corresponding to the inclined face, which is to be formed at the end portion of the core layer, is exposed and patterned by the light beam, exposure amounts of which are controlled in accordance with the inclined form of the inclined face, such that an end portion of the etching mask has an inclined face structure. When the core layer is worked by etching using this etching mask, working of the core layer at the end portion of the core layer progresses in proportion to film thickness of the etching mask, and the inclined face is formed.

    摘要: In an exposure apparatus of the invention, for a spatial light modulator, each of a plurality of pixel portions fewer than the total number of the pixel portions is controlled with a control signal generated according to exposure information. Namely, a part of the pixel portions is controlled without controlling a whole of the pixel portions on the substrate. Thus, the number of pixels in the pixel portions is decreased, and transfer time of the control signal becomes short. This enables modulation speed of the laser beam to be increased and the high-speed exposure to be performed. An incorporated laser light source, in which the laser beams are incorporated and struck on the optical fiber, is preferable to the laser device. By adopting the incorporated laser light source, high brightness and high output can be obtained, and it is preferable to the exposure of the spatial light modulator. Since the fiber array is obtained with few optical fibers, it is low cost. Since the number of optical fibers is few, the light-emitting region is further decreased when the optical fibers are arrayed.
