ABSTRACT:
A swept frequency modulator for use in a "Scophony" raster output scanner is disclosed. Input video [136] is mixed with a fixed RF frequency [137] provided by a fixed frequency oscillator [138], in a first mixer [139]. The resulting amplitude modulated RF [140] is fed into a vestigial sideband filter [142], producing a vestigial sideband signal [144], which is in turn fed into a second mixer [148], where it is mixed with a swept RF frequency [147]. The output of the second mixer [148] is swept frequency vestigial sideband RF [150], which is input to a driver [152]. The driver [152] drives an acoustooptic modulator [154], which modulates optical beam [156] to produce a modulated, facet-tracking beam [158]. The modulated optical beam [158] tracks a facet of a rotating mirror array which scans it across the photoreceptor. The invention enables achievement of all the potential advantages of a Scophony raster output flying spot scanner: (a) high image resolution, (b) improved depth of focus, and (c) linear system response.
