Abstract
An image exposing device which, on the basis of image data, modulates light beams outputted from three light sources having respectively different wavelengths, and which scans/exposes the light beams onto a photosensitive material. The three light sources includes a first light source having a light-emitting peak wavelength in a vicinity of 635 nm, a second light source having a light-emitting peak wavelength in a range of 670 to 710 nm, and a third light source having a light-emitting peak wavelength in a vicinity of 780 nm. The photosensitive material includes a first photosensitive layer having a peak spectral sensitivity corresponding to the first light source, a second photosensitive layer having a peak spectral sensitivity corresponding to the second light source, and a third photosensitive layer having a peak spectral sensitivity corresponding to the third light source. A sensitivity of the first photosensitive layer with respect to the first light source is at least fifteen times a sensitivity of the second photosensitive layer with respect to the first light source, and a sensitivity of the second photosensitive layer with respect to the second light source is at least fifteen times a sensitivity of the first photosensitive layer with respect to the second light source.
