ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a printing system having a linear diffractive spatial light modulator (LDSLM) assembly that diffracts light from a laser source according to or under the influence of an applied electric field applied to the LDSLM assembly. In one embodiment, the LDSLM assembly includes a linear array of diffractive MEMS elements. For example, each of the diffractive MEMS elements can include a number of deformable ribbons having a light reflective planar surface. Preferably, the linear array of diffractive MEMS elements including the ribbons and drive electronics are integrally formed on a single substrate. In other embodiments, the LDSM assembly can include two or more linear arrays of diffractive MEMS elements, and the laser source can include an array of multiple lasers or laser emitters.
