摘要:
An optical imaging system is provided that includes a rod lens array and has the optimum refractive index distribution for achieving a high resolving power. The refractive index distribution of rod lenses can be expressed by n(r)2=n02·{1−(g·r)2+h4·(g·r)4+h619 (g·r)6+h8·(g·r)8}Eq. 45 where r is a radial distance from the optical axis of the rod lenses, n0 is a refractive index on the optical axis of the rod lenses, and g, h4, h6 and h8 are refractive index distribution coefficients. The refractive index distribution coefficients h4, h6 and h8 are set on a spheroid in a Cartesian coordinate system with h4 being x-axis, h6 being y-axis and h8 being z-axis. The spheroid is defined by a vector X* that is expressed by X*=(x, y, z)=O*+kAA*+kBB*+kCC*Eq. 46 where O* is a vector from the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system to the center of the spheroid, A*, B* and C* are vectors in the directions of the major axis, the mean axis and the minor axis of the spheroid, respectively, and kA, kB and kC satisfy kA2+kB2+kC2≦1.

摘要:
An optical write-in head for obtaining a clear image even in printing at a relatively high recording density without generating strip-like irregularities in most cases. The optical write-in head applies light carrying image information to a photosensitive substance. The optical write-in head includes an array light source having a plurality of dot light sources, each of which selectively emits the light corresponding to the image information, and a lens array facing the array light source. The lens array has a plurality of lens elements which corresponds to the plurality of dot light sources respectively. An angular aperture θ of each of the lens elements is set in a range of about 14° to 18°.
摘要:
In an image forming apparatus, an object surface (14) is disposed facing one end face of a rod lens array (10), while an image surface (16) is disposed facing the other end face thereof. A lens working distance of the rod lens array on the object side is substantially equal to that on the image side. An actual object-image distance Tco is set between the conjugate length TC1 at which the average value MTFave of the MTF of the rod lens array in the lens array direction is maximized and the conjugate length TC2 at which the &Dgr;MTF(=(MTFmax−MTFmin)/MTFave) is minimized, and a shift quantity &Dgr;TC(=|TCo−TC1|) is set within 0 mm
