Abstract

An F-theta scan lens for a dual beam, dual wavelength raster output scanning system (ROS) has four lens elements with the third and fourth lenses forming a doublet having a negative refractive power. This four-element F-theta scan lens corrects for axial chromatic aberration and lateral chromatic aberration for both wavelengths and provides scan linearity.
