Abstract
Provided is a light scanning apparatus wherein each of optical surfaces of an imaging optical element includes an effective portion on which a light flux traveling toward an effective region of a scanned surface is incident, and two non-effective portions provided on both sides in main scanning direction of effective portion, wherein, when each of a change in a sagittal line tilt amount and a change in a sagittal line curvature in main scanning direction on at least one of optical surfaces is represented by a function, at least one of functions is continuous and is not infinitely differentiable at a predetermined position on each of two non-effective portions, and wherein, with respect to at least one of sagittal line tilt amount and sagittal line curvature, an absolute value at a first end of non-effective portion on a side opposite to effective portion is smaller than that at predetermined position.
