Abstract
There is provided a drying device including a plurality of surface-emitting laser elements each having a plurality of laser elements and arranged along a feeding direction of a recording medium. First power supplying pads are respectively provided at both ends of an electrode on a laser illumination surface of each surface-emitting laser element in a width direction of the recording medium and a second power supplying pad is provided at one end of the electrode on a backside of each surface-emitting laser element in the feeding direction. The respective first power supplying pads of the surface-emitting laser element arranged at an upstream-side in the feeding direction and the second power supplying pad of the surface-emitting laser element arranged at a downstream-side in the feeding direction are connected to each other by wires.
