Abstract:
1. Apparatus for recording an image on a photosensitive surface, comprising: a pulsed light source that produces pulsed light; a data signal source that provides data signals to a plurality of data channels; a modulator that receives the pulsed light and the data signals and selectively modulates the pulsed light with a modulating signal responsive to the data signals at a data rate per data channel, wherein the data rate for at least one of the plurality of channels is higher than a pulse repetition rate of the pulsed light; and a scanner that scans the modulated pulsed light over the surface, said modulated pulsed light being delivered pulse by pulse to different spatially overlapping regions of the surface to build up a pixelized pattern.
