A light beam scanning device may include a light source device, and an optical deflection mechanism for scanning a light beam which is emitted from the light source device over a prescribed angular range by an optical deflection element. The light source device may be provided with a light emitting source and a condenser lens for guiding the light beam emitted from the light emitting source as a converged light beam which is focused on the optical deflection element or its vicinity in at least one of a first direction and a second direction which are perpendicular to an optical axis direction. The light beam scanning device may further include a divergence angle modification lens for varying a divergence angle of an emitted light beam from the optical deflection element in at least a direction perpendicular to a scanning direction by the optical deflection element.
