ABSTRACT:
A scanning optical apparatus includes a light source capable of being modulated, a deflecting element for deflecting and scanning a beam emitted from the light source, a scanning optical element for imaging the deflected beam into a spot shape on a scanned surface, and an optical element for synchronous detection for directing the deflected beam from the deflecting element to a sensor to take the timing of image writing beginning. The scanning optical apparatus further inclueds a scanning position detecting device for making the optical axis of the optical element for synchronous detection and the principal ray of the beam from the deflecting element for taking the timing of image writing beginning coincident with each other, and detecting the position of the beam at a point having at least one image height separate from the optical axis of the scanning optical element.
