ABSTRACT:
Spot registration or position in an optical output device, such as a raster output scanner (ROS), may be controlled in a slow, or process, scan direction by interposing in the image path an electro-optic element whose angular dispersion varies for a given wavelength as a function of the electrical bias applied to it. By orienting the electro-optic element such that dispersion control is perpendicular to the fast or line scan direction of the ROS, varying the electrical bias applied to it varies the dispersion in the slow scan direction. The electro-optic element may be, for example, a prism of AlGaAs. Bias applied to the electro-optic element may be in response to the output of a means for detecting and quantifying such positional errors and/or in response to predetermined correction information output from a processor controlled memory unit or the like. Spot position for single or multiple beam optical output devices may be achieved.
