Abstract
The laser printer uses a rotating polygon mirror to scan a modulated laser beam across a photoconductive material, writing a latent image as an electrostatic charge pattern. This electrostatic charge pattern attracts toner particles which are then transferred to paper. Semiconductor lasers have been a key enabler in the development of small and low cost desktop laser printers.
