Abstract
An optical device includes a plurality of light sources each configured to emit light having a different wavelength, and a lens mirror array in which a plurality of optical elements is arrayed, each of the plurality of optical elements including an incident surface through which the light emitted from each light source enters the optical element, a first reflection surface from which the light incident on the incident surface is reflected, a second reflection surface from which the light reflected by the first reflection surface is further reflected, and an emission surface through which the light reflected by the second reflection surface exits the optical element. The plurality of light sources is arranged such that a light source that emits light having a shorter wavelength is disposed farther from the second reflection surface.
