In a light deflector including a polygon mirror having a plurality of reflecting surfaces; and a motor configured to rotate the polygon mirror, each of the reflecting surfaces, which has leading and trailing edges with respect to a direction of rotation of the polygon mirror and a center between the two edges, is configured to curve with the center displaced with respect to a reference straight line passing through the two edges in a plane perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the polygon mirror, radially, to a first side under a non-operating state in which the motor is not in operation, and to a second side (opposite to the first side) under a first rotating state in which progress of deformation of each of the reflecting surfaces has converged after a lapse of a first period of time from a start of rotation of the motor.

A method for manufacturing a scanning lens elongate in a main scanning direction is disclosed. The method includes a first step of forming a lens by injecting a molten plastic material into a mold, and a second step of annealing the lens formed in the first step under conditions to modify optical properties of the lens such that: for each position to be scanned along the main scanning direction, |R×Δφ×Ws|≦19.248λ−2020.7 where R is a maximum of retardation by birefringence [nm], Δφ is a variation in optic axis orientation per unit length in a sub scanning direction [deg/mm], Ws is a beam width in the sub scanning direction at an incident surface of the scanning lens [mm], and λ is a wavelength of a beam [nm].

A scanning optical apparatus includes: a light source; a light deflector configured to deflect the light beam from the light source in a main scanning direction; an incident optical system disposed between the light source and the light deflector and configured to render the light beam from the light source nearly parallel in the main scanning direction and to converge the light beam in a sub-scanning direction to bring the light beam to a focus in proximity to the light deflector; and a scanning lens configured to focus the light beam deflected by the light deflector onto a target surface to form spot-like images.
