An optical apparatus comprises a first image bearing member; a second
image bearing member; a first reflection member for reflecting a
deflection-scanned first laser beam toward the first image bearing
member; a second reflection member for reflecting a deflection-scanned
second laser beam toward the second image bearing member; and a curving
support member for curving, in a reflection direction, a reflection
surface of the first reflection member, which reflects the first laser
beam. The curving support member includes a support portion which
supports a surface on the side of a direction in which the first
reflection member curves, a contact portion of the support portion with
respect to the first reflection member is of a shape having a curvature.
