Light beam scanning device

摘要

A prism anamorphic optical system is disposed in the path of deflected beam from a rotatable polygonal mirror or a galvano-mirror. This prism anamorphic optical system includes at least two prisms, so that different amounts of displacement of the deflected beam at each angle of deflection and in a direction perpendicular to the direction of deflection caused by the first of the prisms are corrected by the second and subsequent prisms, as viewed from the incidence side. Thus, a straight scanning line may be obtained.
