FIXING STRUCTURE FOR FIXING OPTICAL ELEMENT, LASER SCANNING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR FIXING OPTICAL ELEMENT

摘要

A fixing structure for fixing an optical element at a predetermined position in an optical device, the fixing structure has a plurality of first pressing members to fix the optical element at at least two positions on a surface of the optical element orthogonal to an optical axis of the optical element and a second pressing member to fix the optical element at a predetermined position on a surface of the optical element to the optical axis. A depth of pressing of the surface of the optical element by a tip of the second pressing member is larger than the depth of pressing of the surface of the optical element by the tips of the first pressing members.
