Abstract:
A light scanning apparatus including: a first holder attached to a housing and configured to hold a first laser light source; a second holder attached to the housing and configured to hold a second laser light source; and a lens to which the laser lights are first incident, wherein the first holder and the second holder are attached to the housing in mutually different positions in a rotation axis direction of a rotary polygon mirror and in an optical axis direction of the lens, so that a first incident light path from the first laser light source to the rotary polygon mirror is placed between a second incident light path from the second laser light source to the rotary polygon mirror and the lens, and the first holder and the second holder overlap one another in the rotation axis direction.

Claim (Index 7):
The light scanning apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a third laser light source having a plurality of light emitting points to emit laser lights for exposing a third photosensitive member; a third holder attached to the housing and configured to hold the third laser light source; a fourth laser light source having a plurality of light emitting points to emit laser lights for exposing a fourth photosensitive member; a fourth holder attached to the housing and configured to hold the fourth laser light source; and an other lens, of the plurality of optical elements, to which the laser lights emitted from each of the third laser light source and the fourth laser light source and deflected by the rotary polygon mirror are first incident, the other lens being arranged oppositely to the lens with respect to the rotary polygon mirror, wherein the laser lights emitted from each of the third laser light source and the fourth laser light source are incident to the rotary polygon mirror without being reflected by a mirror, wherein the third holder and the fourth holder are attached to the housing in mutually different positions in the rotation axis direction of the rotary polygon mirror and in an optical axis direction of the other lens, wherein the third holder and the fourth holder are attached to the housing so that a third incident light path of the laser lights emitted from the third laser light source and incident to the rotary polygon mirror is placed between a fourth incident light path of the laser lights emitted from the fourth laser light source and incident to the rotary polygon mirror and the other lens, and a part of the third holder and a part of the fourth holder overlap one another in the rotation axis direction, wherein the third laser light source is arranged under a virtual plane that is perpendicular to a rotation axis of the rotary polygon mirror and passes through the plurality of reflection surfaces, and wherein the fourth laser light source is arranged above the virtual plane.
