摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to improve visibility for observation with naked eyes or for camera shooting without spoiling the appearance during marking inside a transparent medium using a laser. By irradiating an inside of a transparent medium with a laser, the present invention forms a micro-denatured region in each of a first layer and a second layer inside the medium. The micro-denatured regions in the respective layers are arranged out of alignment with each other on a two-dimensional plane (refer to FIG. 1).

A method for banding suppression due to vibration in an image forming and/or image receiving apparatus with laser driver utilizes governing equations which relate the on/off time and intensity to velocity and frequency of vibration are disclosed. Using derived formulas, an amplitude and frequency modulation (AM/FM) combination is used to suppress the banding due to vibration. The equation which governs the on/off time (FM) is t1nulle sin(2nullft1)/vnnullt0. This transcendental equation can be solved for the required on-time t1 in terms of the nominal on-time t0, e (vibration amplitude ), v0 (nominal velocity) and f (vibration frequency). The equation which governs the intensity is H3(t)nullv(t)/v0. H3(t) controls the level of irradiance. This method is further extended to multi-temporal vibration frequency and may correct banding due to irradiance modulation.

A method for banding suppression due to vibration in an imager utilizing a light emitting diode (LED) array is disclosed. By characterizing the LED array and knowing the amplitude and frequency of the signal due to vibration which causes the banding, the LEDs' driving currents are modulated in reverse direction corresponding to the banding signal to suppress the banding.

In a raster output scanner, a system for using one original beam and one facet of a rotating polygon to generate two consecutive scan lines. The original beam is first separated into two beams in a beam splitter. The resultant beams are polarized ninety degrees apart, and directed to the modulator. The beams are a sufficient distance apart so that the A/O modulator can modulate each beam with a minimum of crosstalk. The output beams are then brought together to within one scan line separation by a beam recombiner, which is a reversed beam splitter. The beams can be brought together to this close proximity without optical interference because the beams are plarized ninety degrees apart.

A method for banding suppression due to vibration in an image forming and/or image receiving apparatus with laser driver utilizes governing equations which relate the on/off time and intensity to velocity and frequency of vibration are disclosed. Using derived formulas, an amplitude and frequency modulation (AM/FM) combination is used to suppress the banding due to vibration. The equation which governs the on/off time (FM) is t1+e sin(2&pgr;ft1)/vn=t0. This transcendental equation can be solved for the required on-time t1 in terms of the nominal on-time t0, e (vibration amplitude), v0 (nominal velocity) and f (vibration frequency). The equation which governs the intensity is H3(t)=v(t)/v0. H3(t) controls the level of irradiance. This method is further extended to multi-temporal vibration frequency and may correct banding due to irradiance modulation.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for scanning and exposing in which m laser beams which are arranged in an array so that part of a adjacent laser beams overlap on the photosensitive surface, are main-scanned in a direction intersecting the line along which the laser beams are arranged, while being sub-scanned in the direction in which they are arrayed, to carry out a two-dimensional exposure. The power of at least one of the mth laser beam for the Nth main scanning and the first laser beam for the (N+1)th main scanning is changed, or the distance between the mth laser beam for the Nth main scanning and the first laser beam for the (N+1)th main scanning is changed, to correct density unevenness at the overlapping portion of the mth and the first laser beams.
摘要:
In accordance with the present invention, correction factors for dynamically equalizing the optical channels of a multichannel optical imaging system, individually or on a group-by-group basis, are recursively computed while the imaging system is idle (i.e., not printing) through the use of an iterative process comprising the steps of: measuring the output intensities of the respective sets of channels, sequentially comparing the measured channel intensities against a system calibrated reference intensity level, and adjusting the correction factor for each set of channels that is found to be operating at an intensity level deviating from the reference intensity level in the direction that is required to reduce the magnitude of the deviation (unless the correction factor value already is at the limit of its dynamic range in that direction). Preferably, the correction factor adjustments are made by incrementing and decrementing their least significant values, thereby maximizing the sensitivity of each iteration of the process to the affect of the immediately preceding iteration on the amount of crosstalk occurring between neighboring sets of channels. For example, the correction factors suitably are multi-bit binary values which are adjusted by incrementing and decrementing their least significant bits (LSB's). The reference intensity level typically is calibrated by measuring the uncorrected output intensities of the respective sets of channels and by then selecting the intensity of the set of channels which is determined to be operating at the lowest valid intensity level for use as the reference intensity. Advantageously, this calibration procedure is repeated on a predetermined schedule for recalibrating the reference level from time-to-time to correct for gradual drift in the optical characteristics of the imaging system.
摘要:
A method of avoiding unwanted line structures in the electronic reproduction of images by means of a monochromatic light source in whose beam path an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) cell is arranged. One line consists of a multiple line made up of a plurality of sub-lines. The acousto-optic modulator (AOM) cell is driven by a mixture of ultrasonic waves of discrete frequencies, by which means the beam is split up into a plurality of sub-beams each associated with a discrete frequency which together determines the line width. The individual frequencies are so calculated that the sub-beams overlap and so that the amplitudes of the frequencies produce a uniform intensity distribution in a line.

A motion pick-up in a non-mechanical printer to produce electric timing signals at instances of time at which given points of a path of motion are crossed includes a light transmissive rod arranged along the path of motion which is parallel to the line of print on a data carrier. The light transmissive rod has marks thereon, or associated therewith at the level of the given points and a laser beam which is split into sub-beams by an acousto-optical beam deflector provides a predetermined sub-beam which is deflected by a polygonal reflector and scanned thereby along the rod. The sub-beam is influenced by the marks in such a manner so as to cause light scattering and reflection through the rod so as to strike a photo-element and produce output signals which constitute electric timing signals. The rod may be glass or a synthetic material. The marks may be constituted by scratches on the rod.
