An optical system and a optical information processing equipment utilizing the same are disclosed. The optical system comprises a laser diode and a hologram lens has an interference fringe prepared by the interference of a beam having substantially the same intensity distribution and/or phase characteristic as that of a laser beam emitted from the laser diode with a beam having a desired characteristic. The laser beam from the laser diode is irradiated on the hologram lens so that its characteristic is converted into the desired characteristic.

A laser beam printer is provided which is capable of compensating for the difference in diameter between dots every colors and preventing unintentional coloring of the boundary between colors. In a conventional light source used for a printer, a spot diameter thereof is small upon low output and large upon high output. However, in a semiconductor laser device of the present invention, which is used for a light source for a printer, the spot diameter of the light source is controlled so as to be large upon low output and small upon high output. It is thus possible to keep the spot diameter of the laser light source constant. As a result, an irregular color-free laser beam printer can be materialized.
摘要:
In a laser beam scanning apparatus, first and second laser beam emitters emit a laser beam polarized in a specific direction and a laser beam polarized in the direction orthogonal with this specific direction. A prism passes a laser beam emitted from the first laser beam emitter but reflects a laser beam emitted from the second laser beam emitter, and amalgamates two laser beams emitted from the first and second laser beam emitters in almost the same direction. A rotating polygonal mirror and a scanning lens simultaneously scan on a scanned plane two laser beams amalgamated by the prism. A 1/4 wavelength plate is inserted between the rotating polygonal mirror and the prism to change the laser beam from the prism from a linearly polarized state to a circularly polarized state. By the above arrangement, a difference of reflection factors between two laser beams incident to the rotating polygonal mirror can be eliminated so that two uniform laser beams can be scanned at the same time.
