Original Abstract Submitted
The apparatus invention includes a deflecting unit configured to deflect first and second light fluxes to scan first and second surfaces in a main scanning direction, and first and second optical systems configured to guide the first and second light fluxes deflected by the deflecting unit to the first and second surfaces. The first optical system includes a first optical element, and a second optical element arranged between the first optical element and the first surface on an optical path of the first optical system. The second optical system includes a third optical element.
