Abstract
An optical scanning apparatus includes a deflector to deflect laser light emitted from a light source for scanning, and a detection unit attached to a substrate provided with a through-hole for the detection unit to receive laser light that has passed through the through-hole. The substrate is attached to an optical box that is to store the deflector. The detection unit detects the laser light to control an irradiation position on a scanned surface of the laser light reflected by the deflector. The optical box is provided with a passing portion to guide the laser light emitted from the light source to the detection unit, and protruded portions disposed around the passing portion and protruded toward the substrate side. The substrate is attached to the optical box in a state where the protruded portions are engaged with walls forming the through-hole.
