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.

A diffractive-optical element that is transparent includes a diffraction surface that is formed by a step. A width of the step is set substantially equal to a common multiple of λi/{n(λi)−1} for two or more wavelengths, where λi (i=1, 2, . . . ) is a wavelength and n(λi) is a refractive index with respect to the wavelength λi.

A scanning optical system condensing a beam deflected by an optical deflector so as to form a beam spot on a surface to be scanned, comprises two lenses. A lens on the side of optical deflector has a negative refracting power in sub-scanning direction. A lens on the side of surface to be scanned has a positive refracting power in the sub-scanning direction. At least one lens surface of the lens surfaces of the two lenses is such that a shape in a sub-scanning section thereof is a non-arc shape.
