Abstract
In an overfilled polygon ROS architecture, fast scan jitter is reduced by uniformly illuminating the overfilled facets. In one embodiment, the collimator lens is designed with a long focal length to transmit only the more uniform central portion of the Gaussian shaped intensity profile output of a laser diode. In another embodiment, the light level at the polygon facet is made uniform by introducing a variable transmission filter along the optical path.
