ABSTRACT:
In an optical unit incorporated in a laser beam printer, a light beam generated by a laser diode is converted by a group of conversion lenses into a light beam having a predetermined-size cross section. The light beam is directed toward a photosensitive body by a scanner unit, so as to scan the photosensitive body. A group of focusing lenses allow the rotating angle of the mirrors of the scanner unit to correspond to a desirable point on the surface of the photosensitive body. In other words, the rotating angle is made to correspond to the distance between the optical axis center determined with respect to a main scanning direction and a point to which the light beam is irradiated for scanning. The conversion lenses include at least one aspheric glass lens, and at least two plastic lenses which are formed of the same material. The focusing lenses include at least one plastic lens which is formed of the same material as the plastic lenses included in the converting lenses. With respect to these lenses, optical corrections are made to eliminate adverse effects which may be caused by temperature and/or moisture-dependent focal length variation and by temperature- and/or moisture-dependent deformation of the plastic lenses.
