Problems solved by technology

That is to say, the conventional two-dimensional surface-emitting laser array cannot be formed at the sub-scanning pitch P as shown in FIG. 11 two scanning lines equally spaced apart, and formed to be larger or smaller than the sub-scanning pitch P 11 Scan lines separated by a sub-scan pitch of
Therefore, conventional two-dimensional surface-emitting laser arrays generally cannot be adopted by imaging devices with different resolutions

Embodiment Construction

[0046] The present invention will be explained more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings showing exemplary embodiments of the present invention.

[0047] Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the arrangement of a multi-beam scanning unit according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] 3, the multi-beam scanning unit scans the light onto the photosensitive medium 50, which has an exposed surface that rotates around the direction D. The multi-beam scanning unit includes a two-dimensional surface-emitting laser array 10 and a beam deflector 30. The two-dimensional surface-emitting laser array 10 emits a plurality of laser beams with predetermined intervals along the sub-scanning direction Y of the photosensitive medium 50, and the beam deflector 30 deflects and scans the multiple laser beams emitted by the two-dimensional surface emitting laser array 10 along the main scanning direction X of the photosensitive medium 50.

[0049] The beam deflector...

Abstract

The present invention provides a two-dimensional surface emitting laser array having two sub-scanning pitches is provided. A multi-beam scanning unit employs the two-dimensional surface emitting laser array, and an image forming apparatus employs the multi-beam scanning unit. The two-dimensional surface emitting laser array includes n x m surface emitting lasers (15) including n surface emitting lasers arranged with substantially equal spacing a on base lines N, and m surface emitting lasers arranged with substantially equal spacing b on n inclined lines M that are inclined at an angle with respect to the base lines N and pass through the respective n surface emitting lasers. A plurality of first scan lines spaced apart by a first sub-scanning pitch P 1 or a plurality of second scan lines spaced by a second sub-scanning pitch P 2 whose width is different from that of the first sub-scanning pitch P 1 are selectively formed. the variables a, b,and satisfy where n and m are positive integers greater than 2,and phi is an angle between a first scan line and a second scan line.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a two-dimensional surface emitting laser array, a multi-beam scanning unit using the two-dimensional surface emitting laser array, and an imaging device using the multi-beam scanning unit. More particularly, the present invention relates to a two-dimensional surface-emitting laser array for forming two types of scanning lines separated by different sub-scanning pitches, a multi-beam scanning unit using the two-dimensional surface-emitting laser array, and a multi-beam scanning unit using the two-dimensional surface-emitting laser array. The imaging device of the unit. Background technique [0002] Since the multi-beam scanning unit uses a light source array capable of emitting multiple laser beams to scan multiple scanning lines at the same time, compared with a single-beam scanning unit that uses a single beam, this multi-beam scanning unit can reduce the driving speed of the beam deflector. The number of revolutions of the...
