1. An apparatus for recording a two-dimensional image on a photosensitive medium by scanning the photosensitive medium, comprising:

  • a memory configured to store image information related to the two-dimensional image;

    a light source for emitting light beams;

    an optical modulator having a matrix of cells configured to receive the light beams emitted from the light source;

    wherein the cells of the matrix are arranged along an auxiliary scanning direction so as to form a plurality of columns;

    wherein the columns are arranged next to each other along a main scanning direction; and

    wherein the optical modulator is configured to control positions of the cells of the matrix so as to deflect the light beams to the photosensitive material; and

    a light collecting arrangement configured to collect the light beams deflected from the plurality of columns so as to form, at a single point in time, a scanning line extending along the main scanning direction on the photosensitive material.
