ABSTRACT:
An optical scanning device in which an optical deflector scanningly deflects a light beam emitted from a light source and in which an imaging optical system images the scanningly deflected light beam onto a scan surface. The imaging optical system includes a transmission type imaging optical element and a reflection type optical element, which are disposed in this order from the optical deflector. The reflection type optical element reflects the scanningly deflected light beam in an off-normal light path towards the scan surface. To avoid interference with the off-normal path, a contour central line of the transmission type imaging optical element is positioned at one side of a principal ray of the light beam incident on the transmission type imaging optical element, which side is remote from the off-normal light path reflected by the reflection type optical element.
