摘要:
A scanning apparatus has a luminous flux deflector and a single f.theta. lens. The deflector deflects a convergent luminous flux on a scanned surface at a uniform angular velocity. The f.theta. lens is arranged between the deflector and the scanned surface. The f.theta. lens is bi-convex in a main scanning direction and is made of a material having a refractive index of at most 1.6. One surface of the f.theta. lens in a main scanning direction is so curved that a radius of curvature in the main scanning direction A decreases as an angle of view in the main scanning direction increases.

摘要:
An image recording apparatus wherein a laser diode which is disposed on a focal point of a micro Fresnel lens emits a laser beam and the laser beam is collimated by the Fresnel lens and scanned on a photosensitive drum by a polygonal mirror and an f.theta. optical system. A change in temperature of the laser diode does not result in such serious defocus as to cause practical problems.

A scanning optical system has a deflector and a scanning lens. A convergent beam is deflected at a uniform angular velocity by the deflector. The scanning lens forms the scanned beam into an image on a scanned surface to scan the surface substantially at a uniform velocity. The scanning lens includes from the side of the deflector a negative lens element and at least one more lens element. The convergent beam is incident on a surface of the deflector which faces the deflector. The scanning lens fulfills predetermined conditions.

An optical member having a toric functional surface has a marking which is made by a configuration of a mold used to form the optical member. The marking is formed in the optical member outside an effective area of the functional surface of the optical member. In one embodiment, the optical member is an optical member for a scanning optical system.

摘要:
A laser beam scanning device which has an improved cylindrical mirror in an optical path from a laser source unit to a polygonal mirror. The cylindrical mirror has a finite radius of curvature only in a sub scanning direction, and the radius of curvature in the sub scanning direction varies in a main scanning direction such that the closer to a laser beam incident side, the larger and the closer to a laser beam emergent side, the smaller. The laser beam reflected by the cylindrical mirror is converged on a line substantially parallel to each reflective facet of the polygonal mirror.
摘要:
A laser source unit in which a laser diode is located at a focal point of a Fresnel lens using refraction and diffraction. The laser diode emits a laser beam in accordance with a control signal generated by a driving circuit. The laser diode is driven such that defocus on an image surface caused by a rise in the temperature of the laser diode can be kept in a tolerable degree.
