ABSTRACT:
A light guide of an elongate shape having rectangular cross section, e.g., a quandrangular prism, directs, toward a light detector, either light emitted by applying a scanning light beam to an object and indicative of image information or a synchronizing light beam divided from the scanning light beam. The light guide has at least one outwardly spread end at which the light detector is disposed. The emitted light or the synchronizing light beam which has entered the light guide is totally reflected in the light guide by an inclined surface thereof progressively inclined in a direction toward the spread end, so as to be directed toward the light detector.
