Abstract
Compact linear diode arrays are imaged on linear light modulator arrays by optical systems employing objective asphere/prism segments together with a field lens such that the beams rise in object space or image space, and individual beams are imaged on individual modulator segments with chosen form factors and spacings. More than one laser array can be directed in superimposed fashion onto a single modulator array using laser polarization modes and a polarization beam combiner.
