Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately observe the shape variation of the surface of a mirror by detecting variation in the power of a light beam which is reflected in parallel to a rotary shaft nearby the circumferential edge corner parts of plural groove patterns formed on the top surface of the mirror. CONSTITUTION:The wedgelike groove patterns P1, P2 - Pn are provided on the top surface of the polygon mirror 1 and light beams L11, L12 - L1n which are emitted by a light source 2 while the mirror 1 is in a fast rotating state and split by beam splitters B1, B2 - Bn in parallel to the rotary shaft are made incident on the corner parts t1, t2 - tn of the groove pattern peripheral edges. Said light beams after being reflected and then passed through the beam splitters are made incident on fixed sensors S1, S2 - Sn to measure the power of the light beams and the state of peripheral edge deformation of the groove patterns in fast rotation is detected to measure deformation quantity distributions by centrifugal force in the circumferential and radial directions.

Here, patterns Pi, P2. ..., the peripheral edge of Pn receives a force directed outward from the rotation axis O due to centrifugal force when rotating at a higher speed than during cutting, but since the polygon mirror 1 has a polygonal shape when viewed from the top surface. Since the mass distribution in the circumferential direction is not uniform in patterns PL, P2. ..., the magnitude of the force applied to the periphery of Pn differs depending on the position, and it is no longer a perfect circle. Therefore, since the power of the light beam reflected in the direction parallel to the rotation axis O also changes depending on the position, this power is measured by the sensors S1, S2. ..., Sn by measuring patterns PL, P2. ..., the peripheral deformation of Pn can be seen, and the deformation amount distribution in the circumferential direction and radial direction within the polygon mirror can be measured.
