A scanning optical device used for a laser beam printer, a digital copying apparatus or the like, includes a light source for emitting light beam, deflector for deflecting light beam emitted from the light source toward a surface to be scanned, and a scanning optical system for forming a spot of the light beam deflected by the deflector on the surface to be scanned. The scanning optical system has a plurality of optical elements. A diffraction optical element is formed on a curved surface of at least one of the plurality of optical elements. <IMAGE> |
