AbstractThe availability of blue diode lasers would have a significant impact on several printing applications. The laser printing market is moving towards higher resolutions and higher print speeds. The optical systems for polygon scanner laser printers are diffraction limited and therefore to improve the optical resolution it is very advantageous to reduce the wavelength of the scanning laser beam from that of the IR or red lasers currently being used. The other printing application of blue lasers is exposure of film, an area where argon ion lasers are currently being used. Replacement of these by diode lasers would potentially lower system costs. In this paper, the applications of blue lasers to printing will be outlined and the technical requirements that the lasers will need to satisfy will be discussed.

Image Planes

In recent years, the ability to image morphological dynamics and physiological changes in living cells and tissues has been greatly advanced by the advent of scanning laser confocal microscopy. Confocal microscopes employ optical systems in which both the condenser and objective lenses are focused onto a single volume element of the specimen. In practice, galvanometer-driven mirrors or acousto-optical deflectors are used to scan a laser beam over the specimen in a raster-like fashion through an epifluorescence microscope. The incident laser beam, as well as the collected fluorescent light, are passed through pinhole or slit apertures in image planes that are conjugate to the plane of the specimen. This method of illumination and detection prevents fluorescent light which is generated above and below the plane-of-focus from impinging on the imaging system's photodetector, thus rejecting much of the fluorescent light which normally blurs the image of a three-dimensional fluorescent specimen.
