A two-element f-θ lens used for a micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) laser scanning unit includes a first lens and a second lens, the first lens is a positive power meniscus lens of which concave surface is disposed on a side of a MEMS mirror, the second lens is a negative power meniscus lens of which convex surface is disposed on the side of the MEMS mirror, at least one optical surface is an Aspherical surface in both main scanning direction and sub scanning direction, and satisfies special optical conditions. The two-element f-θ lens corrects the nonlinear relationship between scanned angle and time into the linear relationship between the image spot distances and time. Meanwhile, the two-element f-θ lens focuses the scan light to the target in the main scanning and sun scanning directions, such that the purpose of the scanning linearity effect and the high resolution scanning can be achieved.
A two-element fθ lens used for a micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) laser scanning unit, said MEMS laser scanning unit comprising a light source for emitting laser beam, a MEMS reflecting mirror for reflecting said laser beam emitted by said light source into a scanning light by resonant oscillation, and a target provided for sensing light, said two-element fθ lens being disposed between said target and said MEMS reflecting mirror, said two-element fθ lens comprising:
