Abstract
This invention relates to an illumination system and method for imaging thermosensitive or light-sensitive media such as printing plate precursors. More particularly, this invention is directed to an illumination system in which laser light is conveyed to a modulator, and the modulated laser light is passed through separating means to permit only the passage of zero order radiant energy which is employed to image the media.
