Laser Scanning Optical Device

Abstract

The laser scanning optical device comprises: a light source; a collimator lens; a light source holder; a lens holder; a light source unit holder; a first rotation axis; and a second rotation axis. The light source includes a plurality of light emitting points. The collimator lens converts diverging rays irradiated from the light source into parallel rays. The light source holder holds the light source. The lens holder holds the collimator lens. The light source unit holder holds the light source holder and the lens holder. The first rotation axis rotates the collimator lens with respect to an ideal optical axis. The second rotation axis rotates the light source unit holder while constantly maintaining a positional relationship between the light source holder and the lens holder.
