    摘要: An emitter device including a focusing array with plural focusing columns to focus emissions from one or more emitters onto a target medium. Relative movement between the target medium and the focused emissions allows each focusing column to focus emissions over an area of the target medium encompassing the movement range. In a preferred embodiment, separate emitter, focusing array and target medium substrates are used. The focusing array may be moveable, or in a particularly preferred embodiment, is affixed to the emitter substrate, in which case the target medium substrate is movable or the focusing array includes beam direction control.
