Imaging Characteristics Analysis of GLV-Based Thermal CTP System

Abstract:

The Grating Light Valve (GLV) is a spatial light modulator based on Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS), and it has been successfully applied in the computer-to-plate (CTP) system by modulating laser beams. Fast modulation rate, a mass of pixels, and high power handling capability of the GLV device increase imaging speed. Digital working states, combine of two GLV pixels and exact beam shape improve imaging quality. Numerical calculation and graph analysis using MATLAB software show that imaging quality of GLV-based thermal CTP system is higher than that of traditional acousto-optic modulator scanning system.
