A plurality of light sources, a light deflector, and a single scan lens. The light deflector deflects a plurality of light beams emitted from the light sources by a same face for scanning a plurality of to-be-scanned portions simultaneously. The single scan lens receives the light beams from the light deflector and focuses the light beams onto each of the plurality of to-be-scanned portions to scan the to-be-scanned portions simultaneously. The single scan lens is used in common for the light beams, and has one incidence plane and a plurality of exit planes in a sub-scanning direction separately prepared in the sub-scanning direction for each of the to-be-scanned portions. The incidence plane has a refractive power of the lens in the sub-scanning direction decreasing toward peripheral portions in the main scanning direction. The exit planes have positive refractive power in the main and sub-scanning directions.
摘要:
An optical scanning apparatus includes a light source, a light source driving unit that turns on the light source according to image information, a deflector that deflects and scans a light beam emitted from the light source according to sinusoidal vibration, and a scanning/imaging optical system that guides the light beam from the deflector to a scanned surface. The scanning/imaging optical system satisfies two conditions, i.e., (1) provided that the deflector moves in such a manner that an angular velocity is constant, linearity is made larger at a most peripheral image height than at a central image height within a range of an effective writing width, and (2) when a deflection angle of the deflector has a sinusoidal characteristic, the linearity is made smaller at the most peripheral image height than at the central image height within the range of the effective writing width.

摘要:
A line-imaging lens condenses a light beam from a light-source unit in one direction to form a line image. An optical deflecting unit deflects the light beam passing through the line-imaging lens. An imaging optical unit images the light beam deflected by the optical deflecting unit in a spot shape on a scanning surface to be scanned. An adjusting unit adjusts a position of irradiation of the light beam from the light-source unit on the optical deflecting unit.
摘要:
Each scanning optical system includes a first scanning lens and a second scanning lens through which a light beam is incident onto the first scanning lens. The second scanning lens of each scanning optical system is disposed at the optically most downstream side in the scanning optical system and has an optical plane that has the strongest power in a sub-scanning corresponding direction. In addition, the optical plane of each second scanning lens, which has the strongest power in the sub-scanning corresponding direction, is located under the shaft bearings of neighboring polygon mirrors in the vertical direction.
