Abstract
There is disclosed an optical scanning system in which axis alignment in a subscanning direction and adjustment of a spot is easily performed, the spot diameter is variable and a change in efficiency of an optical path due to these changes is small. The optical scanning system comprises two flat plate glasses which are provided between a cylindrical lens for converging an optical beam in a subscanning direction and a polygon mirror and are rotatable around an axis perpendicular to the subscanning direction and may be fixed after an adjustment. Axis alignment in a subscanning direction is obtainable by adjustment of the angle of one flat plate glass, and change in the spot diameter is obtainable by rotating two flat plate glasses in opposite directions while change of the axis in the subscanning direction and change in efficiency of the optical path are kept small.
