  • Patent number: 5892611
    Abstract: A laser drawing apparatus is provided that splits a laser light into a plurality of drawing beams aligned in a common plane. The aligned drawing beams are reflected and deflected through a deflecting mirror to scan a drawing surface. The beams reflected off the mirror are converged through a scanning optical system onto the drawing surface in such a manner that the height of the drawing beams on the drawing surface is in proportion to the deflection angle and a strict relationship exists between the various incident and reflecting angles as well as the focal length of the scanning optical system and pitch of the drawing beams.
