Abstract
In a scanning optical system for deflecting a laser beam by a deflector to converge it on a scanning surface by a focusing lens, it is difficult to compensate for both an image surface curvature and a distortion aberration in the optical system. An optical system according to the present invention is designed to minimize a curvature of a meridional image surface of a focusing lens, and a sagittal image surface and distortion are compensated for by arranging an aspherical surface between the focusing lens and the scanning surface. This aspherical surface is advantageously arranged by forming a cylindrical lens, which is inserted to compensate for a tilting of the deflected surface, into an aspherical surface.
