An exposure head, includes: a first imaging optical system and a second
imaging optical system which are arranged in a first direction; a light
emitting element which emits light to be imaged by the first imaging
optical system; and a light emitting element which emits light to be
imaged by the second imaging optical system, wherein an
inter-optical-system distance in the first direction between the first
imaging optical system and the second imaging optical system satisfies
the following expression: m1L1+m2L2>2P1-(m1dp1+m2dp2) where m1
represents an absolute value of the optical magnification of the first
imaging optical system, L1 represents a width in the first direction of
the light emitting element to be imaged by the first imaging optical
system, dp1 represents a pitch between the light emitting element in the
first direction in the light emitting element to be imaged by the first
imaging optical system, m2 represents an absolute value of the optical
magnification of the second imaging optical system, L2 represents a width
in the first direction of the light emitting element to be imaged by the
second imaging optical system, and dp2 represents a pitch between the
light emitting element in the first direction in the light emitting
element to be imaged by the second imaging optical system.
