Provided is a transparent belt which is wound around a transparent roll and pressed at a nip portion and through which light from a light source transmits, the transparent belt including a base material layer, and an elastic layer that is exposed on a transparent roll side with respect to the base material layer and is elastically deformed greater than the base material layer in the nip portion.

Transparent belt, light irradiating device, and image forming apparatus

Provided is a lens including a curved surface including a top portion at one end of the lens, wherein a groove is formed on the curved surface, and wherein light incident to the curved surface is concentrated on the other end of the lens.

Lens, fixing device, and image forming apparatus

Provided is a heating device, including a transparent belt that travels along a determined path, a first transparent member that comes into contact with an outer circumferential surface of the belt to form a nip at a first position in the belt, and an irradiating section that irradiates a beam which reaches a second position which comes into contact with a heating-target member and differs from the first position in a circumferential direction of the belt via the transparent member and the nip.

Heating device, fixing device, and image forming apparatus

Provided is a fixing device that includes a transparent endless belt, a lens, a nip forming member, and a light source.
