Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to an optical device for multi-optical path scanning (such as a laser phototypesetting machine and a laser photoplotter), and mainly refers to a method and a device for realizing automatic balance adjustment of multiple optical paths in laser phototypesetting. Background technique

[0002] In the optical equipment that adopts multi-light path scanning (such as laser imagesetter, laser photoplotter), the power consistency of each light on the image plane has a key influence on lines and images. Especially when the laser imagesetter outputs a grayscale image, if there is a power fluctuation between the various lights, the size of the scanning point will also fluctuate accordingly, and the fluctuation period is the width of the multiple lights. The periodic fluctuation of the scanning point size is bound to interfere with the grid-hanging period of the grayscale image, resulting in Moiré fringes in the output image. This is ...

Embodiment Construction

[0021] The present invention is mainly used in the multi-channel light scanning imaging system in the laser phototypesetting, aims to propose a fully automatic, real-time adjustment scheme controlled by a computer, in order to solve the problems in the conventional method (see figure 1 ). The core idea is to switch the regulating circuit between two states: either a calibration state or a scanning state. In the calibration state, the photoelectric sensor is used to detect the optical power behind the mirror, and the outgoing beam will be aimed at the photoelectric sensor. The single-chip computer selects the power control unit of each light in turn through the address decoder, and lights up the light. At the same time, the photoelectric sensor collects the light intensity of the road, compares it with a given value, and sends a signal that is greater than or less than to the computer. Based on this, the computer resets the unit through the data bus - either decreases or incr...
