Abstract

An experimental model of a drum-type film plotter is described. In the optical subunit the light source is a He-Ne laser and a multi-beam light modulator is employed to achive high recording speed and accuracy at a very moderate mechanical complexity. The system is capable to expose a 500x600 mm film in 8 minutes on 25μm raster with laser spot diameter of 40 μm.
