Abstract

An optical scanning system has a deflector for deflecting a beam emitted from a light source portion, a telecentric scanning lens for focusing the deflected beam onto a scanning surface, a beam splitter for splitting a beam reflected by the scanning surface on an optical path between the deflector and the light source portion from an outgoing optical path, and a focus point detector for receiving the beam split by the beam splitter and detecting a focused state of the beam on the scanning surface.
