摘要:
Disclosed is an optical scanning system and an image forming apparatus, being small in size but able to produce high-quality image outputs, wherein the optical scanning system includes a deflecting device for scanningly deflect a light beam from a light source in a main scan direction, and an imaging optical system for imaging, upon a surface to be scanned, the light beam deflected by a deflecting surface of the deflecting device, wherein the deflecting surface is reciprocatingly moved to reciprocatingly scan the surface in the main scan direction with the light beam deflected by the deflecting surface, wherein a first direction refers to a direction of a phase difference of wavefront aberration in the main scan direction between a marginal ray and a principal ray of the light beam reflected by the deflecting surface at an effective deflection angle of the same corresponding to a largest scan position in an effective scan region, the phase difference being produced as a result of reflection of the light beam by the deflecting surface, while a second direction refers to a direction of the phase difference of wavefront aberration in the main scan direction between a marginal ray and a principal ray of the light beam reflected by the deflecting surface at an effective deflection angle thereof, the phase difference being produced as a result of transmission of the light beam through said imaging optical system, and wherein at least one optical system inside the imaging optical system is provided with at least one optical surface of non-arculate shape in a main scan section, so as to assure that the first and second directions are made opposite to each other.

An optical scanning system includes a deflecting device to scanningly deflect a light beam from a light source in a main scan direction, and an imaging optical system for imaging, upon a surface to be scanned, the light beam deflected by a deflecting surface of the deflecting device. First and second differences in wavefront aberration are respectively produced as a result of reflection by the deflecting surface and as a result of transmission through the imaging optical system. At least one optical surface inside the imaging optical system is non-arcuate in a main scan section, so as to assure that the first and second phase differences are made opposite to each other.

The tiltable-body apparatus including a frame member, a tiltable body, and a pair of torsion springs having a twisting longitudinal axis. The torsion springs are disposed along the twisting longitudinal axis opposingly with the tiltable body being interposed, support the tiltable body flexibly and rotatably about the twisting longitudinal axis relative to the frame member, and include a plurality of planar portions, compliant directions of which intersect each other when viewed along a direction of the twisting longitudinal axis. A center of gravity of the tiltable body is positioned on the twisting longitudinal axis of the torsion springs.

An electromagnetic actuator includes a stationary member, a movable member magnetically coupled with the stationary member with a gap therebetween, and a support member for displaceably supporting the movable member relative to the stationary member. Both the stationary member and the movable member have a core section carrying a coil wound around its periphery. As the coil of the stationary member and that of the movable member are energized with electric current, the movable member is either attracted toward or repulsed from the stationary member. The electromagnetic actuator can be used for an optical scanner by providing a mirror and a lens on the movable member.

The movable-body apparatus includes a support member, a movable body, an elastic supporting unit having a twisting longitudinal axis, and a driving unit for tilting the movable body in a tilting direction about the twisting longitudinal axis. The elastic supporting unit supports the movable body flexibly and rotatably about the twisting longitudinal axis relative to the support member. The driving unit includes a stationary portion provided apart from the movable body, and a moving core formed of a magnetic material, provided on a portion of the movable body, and has a face opposed to the stationary portion.
