Abstract

See full text

An optical scanning device includes a deflecting unit having a deflecting surface, and arranged to deflect a light beam and optically scan a scanned surface in a main-scanning direction; an incident optical system arranged to cause the light beam to be obliquely incident on the deflecting surface in a sub-scanning section; and a light receiving unit arranged to receive a light beam deflected by the deflecting surface and generate a signal. A following condition is satisfied,

description='In-line Formulae' end='lead'|β|≦|α|,description='In-line Formulae' end='tail'

where α (deg) is an incident angle of the light beam from the incident optical system with respect to the deflecting surface in the sub-scanning section, and β (deg) is an angle defined by the light beam incident on the deflecting surface and the light beam deflected by the deflecting surface and directed toward the light receiving unit in a main-scanning section.
