    摘要: An optical scanning device includes a first optical element that converts a cross-section shape of a light beam from a semiconductor laser to a desired shape; a second optical element that guides the light beam output from the first optical element to an optical deflector that deflects the light beam; and a third optical element that gathers the light beam deflected by the optical deflector onto a surface to be scanned to form a light spot thereby optically scanning the surface. At least one of the first optical element, the second optical element, and the third optical element includes a resin-made lens, at least one of the resin-made lenses has a power diffracting surface, and a surface shape of at least one of power diffracting surfaces is formed so that a power of a diffracting portion and a power of a refractive portion are cancelled out.

    摘要: A coupling lens arranged on an optical path of an optical beam from a VCSEL, which has a refraction plane and a diffraction plane that respectively change a power according to a temperature change and suppresses a beam-waist position change in a main-scanning direction and a sub-scanning directions on the scanning surface caused by the temperature change, by a wavelength change of the optical beam caused by power changes of the refraction plane and the diffraction plane and the temperature change. A deflecting unit deflects the optical beam that passed through the coupling lens. A scanning optical system condenses a deflected optical beam on the scanning surface.

    摘要: An optical scanner includes a light source, an optical coupler, an optical line image unit, a deflector, and an optical scanning unit. The optical scanning unit includes scanning lenses that guide the beams to a surface to be scanned. A surface on the deflector side of the scanning lens closest to a deflection reflecting surface has a negative power in a vertical scanning direction, and is a special toric surface in which a radius of curvature in a vertical scanning changes from an optical axis of the lens surface toward a periphery of the horizontal scanning direction. An F number of the beams toward the surface to be scanned of the scanning lens in the vertical scanning direction is larger in a peripheral part than in a central part in an effective scanning width.

    摘要: A vehicle alternator for generating electric power has a stator, a rotor, a rectifier, a regulator case, and a cooling fin part. A stator winding is wound on the stator. The rotor is placed on opposite faces to the stator. The rectifier rectifies an alternating current output voltage excited in the stator winding. The regulator case accommodates a regulator substrate for adjusting the output voltage and a heat sink. On one surface of the heat sink the regulator substrate is mounted. The cooling fin part has plural cooling fins bonded to the other surface of the heat sink. The cooling fin part and the heat sink are made of a same material of a superior thermal expansion coefficient, such as copper or copper alloy.

    摘要: A multi-beam scanner includes light sources, a deflector deflecting the beams emitted from the light sources at an equiangular velocity, a scanning image-forming optical system guiding the deflected beams to a surface so as to be formed into light spots on the scanned surface, a light receiving device receiving the beams deflected toward optical write-in starting portions on the scanned surface as synchronizing beams, and a synchronizing beam optical system guiding the beams deflected toward the optical write-in starting portions on the scanned surface to the light receiving device. The scanning image-forming optical system includes two or more scanning positive lenses, with a region having a positive power in a main scanning direction on an optical write-in starting side, and each deflected beam received by the light receiving device passes through one or more but not all of the scanning positive lenses to be guided to the light receiving device. An optical path length from the deflector to the light receiving device is set larger than an optical path length from the deflector to the scanned surface in the synchronizing beam optical system.

    摘要: A photosensitive body has a photosensitive layer. An optical scanning device has a deflector deflecting a light flux emitted from a light source, and scans the surface of the photosensitive body by the thus-deflected light flux. A dot is formed at a center between adjacent light fluxes as a result of the adjacent light fluxes being overlapped with one another in a sub-scan direction. A ratio of a static beam-spot diameter Ws in the sub-scan direction on the surface of the photosensitive body defined by 1/e2 of the maximum value in the exposure distribution of the beam spot to an interval L between adjacent scan lines satisfies the following formula: 1.2
