An imaging method for generating a substantially one-dimensional scan line image using multiple spatial light modulators, to modulate a homogenous light field, and then anamorphically imaging and concentrating the modulated light to form the scan line image. The spatial light modulators include light modulating elements that are arranged in two-dimensional array and are individually adjustable to either pass/reflect received homogenous light portions to the anamorphic optical systems, or to block/redirect the homogenous light portions, thereby generating two-dimensional modulated light fields. Anamorphic optical systems are used to image and focus received modulated light field onto an associated substantially one-dimensional scan line portion on the scan structure. An image stitching controller modifies the image data sent to each spatial light modulator such that selected light modulating elements are enabled or disabled, thereby electronically stitching the scan line portions to form a seamlessly stitched scan line image. |
