ABSTRACT:
Parallel laser beams #1, #2 and #3 produced by splitting one laser beam into three, are introduced to an optical scanning device along the central axis of a recording cylinder, the optical scanning device being disposed on the central axis of the recording cylinder and rotated thereabout, having an inclined mirror surface, the recording cylinder holding a recording sheet on an interior surface thereof. The laser beam #2 incident upon the mirror surface at its center of rotation is reflected at the point of incidence, while the laser beams #1 and #3 are deflected by acousto-optical devices back and forth in the opposite directions in synchronism with the rotation of the optical scanning device, in parallel planes held at a distance and including the laser beams #1 and #3 therein, thereby to give the laser beams #1 and #3 angles of incidence upon the mirror surface necessary in order for the laser beams #1, #2 and #3 after reflected to produce scanned loci running parallel to each other at a given interval on the recording sheet, regardless of rotational positions of the optical scanning device. To adjust a relative difference in the lengths of the scanned loci, timing at which the laser beams #1, #2 and #3 are turned on/off is controlled. When the laser beams #1 and #3 are deflected so as to gyrate along a conical plane whose central axis is that of the recording cylinder, the laser beams #1, #2 and #3 produce scanned loci always running parallel to each other at a given interval with the same scanning lengths on the recording sheet.
