ABSTRACT:
An optical scanning apparatus includes a light source that emits a light beam, optical systems through which the light beam travels including one that forms a line image, a polygon mirror that rotates and deflects the light beam with a deflective reflection surface, and a scanning optical system that converges the light beam to scan a target surface with a light beam spot. The optical system closer to the light source than the polygon mirror is configured so as to correct a change in an image-forming position of the light beam spot caused by deformation of the deflective reflection surface originating from the rotation of the polygon mirror.
