    Abstract: High speed laser scanning systems and methods are disclosed for imaging target samples. Embodiments of the laser scanning systems and methods include separating a laser beam into two or more different pathways and pulsing light along the two or more pathways. The different pathways intersect the surface of a moving mirror at different locations and light traveling in a pathway that is being approached by an edge of the moving reflective surface is turned off while light traveling in a different pathway that is farther from the edge of the moving reflective surface is turned on. Embodiments include reflective surfaces that form a rotating polygonal scanner. Further embodiments include recombining the two or more different pathways, focusing the laser light on a test sample, and imaging the light reflected from the test sample.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an optical scanning apparatus and an electronic image-forming apparatus. The optical scanning apparatus includes a light source; a first optical unit; an optical deflector, configured to deflect the light beam emitted from the first optical unit; and a second optical unit, configured to guide the light beam deflected by the optical deflector on a scanned target surface for forming an image. An image height on the scanned target surface satisfies an expression: Y=fc×tan(B×θ), where Y denotes the image height on the scanned target surface, fc denotes an image-forming characteristic coefficient of the second optical unit, B denotes a scanning coefficient of the second optical unit, θ denotes an effective scanning angle of the optical scanning apparatus, and all region or a partial region in effective scanning range of the second optical unit satisfies a condition: 0.7≤B≤0.9.
