ABSTRACT:
A postobjective optical scanner comprising a polygonal optical deflector (polygonal rotating mirror) having a plurality of convex reflecting surfaces each being a curved surface other than a spherical surface or a portion of a cylindrical surface. The deflector also utilizes a pseudocylindrical lens disposed between the polygonal optical deflector and an objective surface, having a cylindrical surface having its power in the feed direction or a rotationally symmetric surface rotationally symmetric with respect to an axis of rotational symmetry parallel to the scanning direction, and a curved surface represented by a polynominal of even degree and having its power in the scanning direction. The combined performance of the correcting effects of the polygonal optical deflector and the pseudocylindrical lens corrects the curvature of image surfaces and f.theta. characteristics at a high accuracy.
