Abstract:
A system includes a light source, a deflection unit configured to deflect a light beam having a wavelength λ emitted from the light source, and a lens unit including a plurality of lenses that focuses deflected light on a surface to be scanned, at least one lens among the plurality of lenses has a micro concavo-convex structure in an optical surface, and the optical surface having the micro concavo-convex structure has a transmittance distribution for the light beam having the wavelength λ according to a light quantity distribution of the deflected light and entering the lens unit.
