Abstract
An imaging system includes a plurality of semiconductor lasers for emitting a plurality of laser beams for use in forming an image on a photosensitive member. A laser driver circuit is provided for each of the plurality of lasers, and a plurality of photodectors are also provided, each detecting the light intensity of the corresponding one of the laser beams emitted from the lasers. A light intensity stabilizing control circuit is provided to stabilize the light intensity of each of the plurality of laser beams using one of the detected light intensities as a reference and adjusting the light intensity of each of the other beams such that a difference between the reference and the light intensity of each of the other beams is within a predetermined range.
