Optical apparatus, image forming apparatus, and image reading apparatus

An optical apparatus includes: a light source including multiple light-emitting points arrayed in a first direction; and an imaging optical system including multiple lens optical systems arrayed in the first direction. The imaging optical system forms images of the multiple light-emitting points on a light-receiving surface. In a first cross-section and in a second cross-section, half-value of a maximum value of angle of divergence of an imaging optical flux input to the light-receiving surface, resolution, and a size of each image of the plurality of light-emitting points formed on the light-receiving surface, satisfy predetermined conditions.
