Abstract: A laser device applied to a light source of laser scanning units (LSU) includes a laser diode disposed on an accommodation hole of a flange. A collimator lens is arranged on one end of an inner tube part of a holder while the other end of the inner tube part faces the laser diode so that the laser beam passes through the inner tube part of the holder and the collimator lens, then projects out. A lug extends radially from outer surface of the holder and a plurality of axial guide slots is disposed on the lug. A plurality of guide pins corresponding to the guide slots is arranged on the flange.

Abstract: A laser scanning unit mainly includes a semiconductor laser, a collimator, a micro electronic mechanic system (MEMS) oscillatory mirror, and an f? lens or an f sin ? lens. The MEMS oscillatory mirror is disposed between the collimator and the f? lens to replace a conventional rotary polygonal mirror for controlling a direction in which laser beams are projected from the oscillatory mirror to the f? lens. With the MEMS oscillatory mirror, the cylindrical lens may be omitted from the laser scanning unit and noises produced by the polygonal mirror rotating at high speed may be avoided. Moreover, the MEMS oscillatory mirror allows bi-directional scanning to therefore enable increased scanning frequency, simplified structure, and improved scanning efficiency.
