ABSTRACT:
An image reading apparatus is provided with a light-receiving device, an imaging optical system and a blazed diffraction grating. In the light-receiving device, a plurality of line sensors are arranged on the same substrate. An image of an object to be imaged is formed on the light-receiving device by the imaging optical system. The blazed diffraction grating is arranged in an optical path between the imaging optical system and the light-receiving device. The blazed diffraction grating color-separates a light beam from the object to be imaged into a plurality of light components. The diffraction grating is so constructed to have grating lines with at least two different grating heights.
