摘要:
Rays of light emitted from a light source are converged into a light beam by a converging optical system. The converged light beam is focused in one direction by a first focusing optical system into a linear image having a longitudinal direction corresponding to a main scanning direction in a light beam scanning device. A light deflector for deflecting the light beam has a deflecting surface disposed near a point where the linear image is focused by the first focusing optical system. The deflected light beam is focused as a light spot on a scanned surface by a light beam scanning lens serving as a second focusing optical system. The focused light spot scans a surface at a substantially constant speed. the light beam scanning lens comprises a single-element lens having a cylindrical surface facing the light deflector and a toric surface facing the surface which is scanned by the focussed light spot.

A light scanning device includes a light source unit, a first focusing optical system for focusing a light beam from the light source unit as a linear image in a position, a rotating polygon having a reflecting surface near the position for deflecting the light beam at a constant angular velocity, and a second focusing optical system for focusing the light beam deflected by the rotating polygon as a spot on a surface being scanned. The second focusing optical system includes a lens having a toric surface and coupling the reflecting surface and the scanned surface in substantially conjugate relationship with respect to an auxiliary scanning direction. The axis of the deflected light beam and the optical axis of the second focusing optical system deviate by .DELTA. from each other in a light deflecting plane, where the deflected light beam is parallel to the optical axis of the second focusing optical system, with the second focusing optical system having a focal length fM in the light deflecting plane, the amount of deviation .DELTA. being in the range: 0.0066 fM
摘要:
In an optical scanner for reducing shading, a semiconductor laser or a semiconductor laser array is set to a light source and a laser beam from the light source is deflected by a light deflector having a deflecting reflecting face and is converged by a lens for scanning as a light spot on a scanned face to perform an optical scanning operation. The optical scanner has an antireflection coating film disposed on only a refractive face for providing a largest change in incident angle in the deflection of the laser beam with respect to faces of optical elements arranged on an optical path from the light deflector to the scanned face to transmit the laser beam through the optical elements. The optical scanner may have an antireflection coating film disposed on one or more lens faces of the scanning lens such that transmittance of the scanning lens is gradually increased from an optical axis thereof toward both end portions in a main scan-corresponding direction.

An optical scanner comprises a light source device; a linear image forming device for forming an approximately parallel light beam from the light source device as a linear image extending in a main scanning corresponding direction; a rotary polygon mirror having a deflection-reflecting face in the vicinity of the image forming position of the linear image; and an image forming optical system arranged between the rotary polygon mirror and a scanned face and setting the scanned face and a deflecting start point of the deflection-reflecting face in an approximately conjugate relation in geometrical optics with respect to a secondary scanning direction, the image forming optical system forming the deflected light beam from the deflection-reflecting face as an image of a light spot on the scanned face. The linear image forming device has a transparent elastic parallel plate, a cylindrical lens, a deforming device for flexing the elastic parallel plate in the shape of an arc by applying a deforming force thereto to change a radius of curvature of a face of the elastic parallel plate, and a controller for controlling the application of the deforming force in synchronization with an optically scanning operation by the deflected light beam. The linear image forming device may have other constructions.
