摘要:
A full width opto-mechanical modulator comprised of a silicon chip have dual rows or arrays of flexible finger-like reflectors disposed thereon in staggered facing relationship to one another. The reflectors, the surface of which is highly reflective, bend in response to the application of a predetermined potential. The modulator is placed in the path of a beam of high intensity light, and potentials applied to selected reflectors in accordance with an image signal input cause the modulator to reflect light striking the individual reflectors in either an exposure path or against a beam stop.

A dual mode reproduction machine or copier incorporating a full width read/write bar having at least one linear array of flexible reflectors selectively bendable in response to the application of electrical potentials thereto, the reflectors reflecting imaging rays either onto an imaging member to expose the same or onto a beam stop in response to an image signal input. A second parallel array of photodetector elements permits a document original to be read line by line, and the document image converted to image signals. Light transmission arrays cooperate with the read/write bar to enable exposure of the imaging member or reading of a document original selectively.

An image sensor array and method of fabrication which facilitates replacement of a defective one in a series of arrays butted together to form a longer scanning array in which a (110) silicon wafer having a row of photosites has separation lines etched thereon by orientation dependent etching along the (111) planes, with the separation lines for the opposite ends of the array each consisting of first and second partial boundary lines longitudinally offset from one another connected by a third boundary line so that the ends of the array have a has a generally L-shaped offset permitting bi-directional separating and aligned inserting movement when replacing a defective array.In a second embodiment, the arrays are formed on (100) silicon with alternating `nail` head and `mesa` head shapes to facilitate removal and replacement of a defective array.

Apparatus and method of fabricating a sensor array from a (110) silicon substrate having a row of photosites to provides a sensor array chip with uniformly smooth and angled ends designed to permit the chip to be lock butted end to end with other like chips to form a full length scanning array in which the substrate is etched for separation along the (111) planes at the desired boundaries of the chip, the etched boundaries delimiting the chip ends running between selected pairs of photosites to provide whole photosites right up to the ends of the chip so as to avoid any cap or interruption between the photosites at the junctions with other chips.In a second embodiment, the chip ends are formed with complementary irregular shapes to enhance locating and butting of the chips with one another, and in a third embodiment, grooves are etched between each of the photosites in the row to assure photosite uniformity and prevent cross talk between photosites.

摘要:
An arrangement for optically creating a full width scanning array from a plurality of small scanning or writing arrays. The small arrays are disposed in alternating staggered relation in two parallel rows on a substrate with the array viewing fields overlapping to prevent discontinuity. The substrate bearing the arrays is placed in optical relation with an array of fiber optic lenses which transmit an image line to or from the arrays. A biprism array composed of plural prisms, one for each smaller array, is located between the substrate bearing the arrays and the lens array. To destagger the separated scanning arrays and produce a single uninterrupted full width scanning array, alternate ones of the prisms in the biprism array are reversed.
摘要:
An adapter and method for through the lens (TTL) laser range sensor probes enables use of a TTL probe of a given exit pupil size to be used with a shared objective lens requiring a entrance pupil size, as entered from the laser range sensor, that is different from the TTL probe exit pupil size. Embodiments of the adapter include optics, such as a first lens and a resolving second lens that expand or contract the TTL laser radiation depending on whether the first lens is a diverging, a negative focal length lens, or a converging, positive focal length lens, and the second lens is converging or diverging, respectively, in a Galilean arrangement. Embodiments also provide a Keplerian arrangement, can function with non-collimated radiation, and can include mirrors to yield a more compact adapter. Additional embodiments include at least one adjustable lens element between the first and second lenses, the at least one adjustable lens element being connected to an actuator for movement along the optical path. The adapter can be arranged in a folded configuration in which mirrors are used to form a more compact adapter.
