ABSTRACT:
In laser beam scanning by a rotating polygonal mirror, a hologram scanner, etc., a cylindrical lens having a refractive power in a sub-scanning direction is introduced to place the beam deflecting surface and the scanning surface in a geometrical-optically conjugative relation, in order to prevent occurrence of a deviation in position of scanning line due to a deviation of the beam deflecting surface. However, in a Gauss beam such as a laser beam, a beam waist is not produced in a geometrical-optical conjugate point. This relation is utilized to select optical elements whereby apparatus may be miniaturized and the size of the beam spot may be adjusted.
