Abstract
SIGHT-MOD (tm) is a commercially available array of magneto-optic light modulators each of which can cause light to be transmitted or blocked in response to an electrical signal. By combining a SIGHT-MOD (tm) array with a passive array of optical fibers arranged at one end to match the positions of the SIGHT-MOD (tm) pixels and at the other end arranged in a straight line, together with optical illuminating and imaging elements, a completely solid state digital print head can be created capable of generating 300 or more dots of modulated light per inch.
