A light emitting device (1) is configured to radiate light with an optical axis A at the center, and is provided with a light source (2), and a lens (3) that radially expands the light from light source (2). The light source (2) has a light emitting surface (21) extending in an X direction orthogonal to the optical axis A. The lens (3) is configured to have a greater refractive power in a Y direction orthogonal to the X direction than in the X direction. For example, the lens (3) has a light entrance surface (31) including an anamorphic curved surface with different curve forms between the X direction and the Y direction.

The over-field type optical scanner includes a first imaging optical system disposed between a light source and a rotating polygon mirror for forming, on one surface of the rotating polygon mirror, a linear image with a width larger than a width along a main scanning direction of the one surface of the rotating polygon mirror; and a second imaging optical system composed of a curved mirror for focusing, on a scan surface, a light beam having been reflected by the rotating polygon mirror. The first imaging optical system includes a first conversion optical system for converting the light beam emitted from the light source into a divergent light beam with respect to the main scanning direction and into a convergent light beam with respect to the sub scanning direction; and a second conversion optical system having a refracting power in the main scanning direction.

A wide-angle imaging optical system includes a refractive optical system (3), a reflective optical system, and an image-forming optical system (5). The reflective optical system includes a first reflection surface (1) that directly reflects rays of light from an object, and a second reflection surface (2) that reflects rays of light from the first reflection surface (1). An open portion is provided between the first reflection surface (1) and the second reflection surface (2), and rays of light from the object enter the open portion. A light-transmitting portion (2a) is provided in the second reflection surface (2) and transmits rays of light that have entered the refractive optical system (3). An aperture (1a) is provided in the first reflection surface (1) and allows rays of light from the second reflection surface (2) and the refractive optical system (3) to enter the image-forming optical system (5).

A distance-measuring optical apparatus for measuring a distance to an object as a target comprises an imaging optical system; an image sensor; a driving section for moving at least the imaging optical system substantially perpendicular to an optical axis; an image sensor control section for outputting a periodical timing signal for designating a timing at which the image sensor takes an object image; and a driving control section for controlling the driving section to reciprocate the imaging optical system. The timing signal is periodically output when the imaging optical system is located near two positions away from each other in a direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis. The distance-measuring optical apparatus further comprises an image processing operation section for finding, through an operation, a distance from the imaging optical system to the object using the image signal when the imaging optical system is at each of the two positions.

摘要:
An optical scan apparatus includes an optical deflection unit (4), an image formation optical system (3), and curved surface mirrors (7a to 7d). Light fluxes from the image formation optical system (3) come onto the deflection surface (4a) of die optical deflection unit (4) in an oblique direction. Light fluxes from the optical deflection unit (4) come onto the curved surface mirrors (7a to 7d) in an oblique direction. When a boundary is a plane (6) including a normal at the center of the deflection surface (4a) and parallel to the main scan direction, the curved surface mirrors (7a to 7d) are arranged in the same space divided by the boundary and the scan speeds of fluxes scanning the surfaces to be scanned (8a to 8d) are almost identical. Thus, it is possible to obtain identical drive frequencies of the light sources (1a to 1d), thereby simplifying the circuit.
