<p>In an OFS scanning optical system in which a light beam incident to a deflection surface is set to a light beam wider than the deflection surface, angles formed between the center axes of emitted distributions of light beams from light emitting points of respective lasers as light sources and the optical axis of the corresponding optical system within a main scanning section and total angular widths of laser beam radiation angles within the main scanning section are regulated. Thus, symmetry and uniformity of an illumination distribution of an imaging spot on a surface to be scanned are improved. <IMAGE></p> |
