Abstract: A scanning optical system is provided with a light source device (1), a deflection optical system (5) that deflects the light flux from the light source device (1) to carry our a scan in a main-scanning direction (y), and a scanning and image-forming optical system (8) that forms the light flux deflected by the deflection optical system (5) into an image on a scanning surface (H). The scanning and image-forming optical system (8) includes at least a first lens (6). The scanning optical system satisfies a predetermined condition relating to a numerical aperture of a light flux entering the deflection optical system (8) in a sub-scanning direction (z), and a distance between the deflection optical system (5) and the first lens (6). The first lens (6) is a plastic lens made of a predetermined resin as a base material.

Abstract: An imaging lens good in mass-productivity, compact, low in manufacturing cost, good in aberration performance is provided by effectively correcting aberrations without greatly varying the variation of the thickness of a curing resin. An imaging device having such an imaging lens and a portable terminal are also provided. A third lens (L3) has a flat surface on the object side, a convex surface near the optical axis on the image side, and a concave aspheric surface around the peripheral portion within the region where a light beam passes. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the other optical aberrations such as distortion and simultaneously to design the imaging lens so that the astigmatism takes on a maximum value at the outermost portion. Hence, the resolutions at low to middle image heights are high. In addition, such a shape does not cause a large variation of the thickness of the third lens (L3) from the region along the axis to the periphery.

Abstract: A scanning optical system includes: a light source for emitting a light flux with a wavelength ?; a polygon mirror comprising a plurality of reflection surfaces for deflecting the light flux emitted from the light source for scanning the scanning surface; a light-converging lens group in a two-element structure. The light-converging lens group is arranged between the polygon mirror and the scanning surface and forms a light spot on the scanning surface. In the scanning optical system, the wavelength ? is not larger than 600 nm, and the scanning optical system satisfies a conditional expression relating to a number of the reflection surfaces of the polygon mirror, a scanning width of the scanning optical system, and a focal length of the light-converging lens group in a main scanning direction.
