ABSTRACT:
A multi-beam light source device which can be used in an optical scanning device has less optical cross-talk and an improved stability in frequency response. The multi-beam light source device comprises a semiconductor laser array having a plurality of light emitting sources, a light receiving element array having a plurality of light receiving elements and a half mirror splitting a light beam emitted by the semiconductor laser array into at least two split light beams. A light converging unit is provided for converging one of the split light beams at a predetermined focal point. The light receiving element array is positioned at the focal point of the light converging unit for receiving the concentrated one of the split light beams. A controlling circuit is provided for controlling an output of the semiconductor laser array in accordance with the amount of light received by the light receiving element array. Optical cross-talk generated between the split light beams emitted by adjacent ones of the light emitting sources is suppressed by an optical cross-talk suppressing unit.
