Abstract:
A mold includes: a first molding surface configured to form a lens surface of a scanning lens being elongated in a main-scanning direction; and a first coolant passage, which is disposed within the mold and through which a coolant to control the temperature of the first molding surface flows, wherein the first coolant passage includes: a first passage portion corresponding to a first lens portion which is a portion protruding most in an optical axis direction in the lens surface; and a second passage portion corresponding to a second lens portion which is a portion retreated most in the optical axis direction in the lens surface, and the second passage portion is located to be closer to the second lens portion than a virtual plane, which passes through the first passage portion and is orthogonal to the optical axis direction.
