The present invention provides an apparatus for recording an image on a photosensitive material, wherein a recording drum 2 is enclosed with an enclosure 10 in which an opening 12 is provided in the direction of movement of a recording head 6. The opening 12 is covered with a light shield member 14 and the light shield member 14 is wound by winding shafts 24 and 26 at its both ends. To the light shield member 14 there is provided a through hole 16, into which an image forming lens 18 of the recording head 6 is inserted. Thus the recording head 6 is allowed to be movable and light shielding is effected only by the small-sized enclosure 10.

Apparatus for recording image on photosensitive material

A light source (8) and beam splitter (24) are connected with each other through a single mode optical fiber (14) cable so that a laser beam (B1) emitted from the light source is transmitted to the beam splitter through the single mode optical fiber cable, to be divided into a plurality of laser beams (B4). The respective laser beams emitted from the beam splitter are modulated by an acoustic-optical modulator (30), and then focused onto a photosensitive film (F).
