Master-optical-disk processing method and mastering apparatus
A process for a master optical disk of the present invention is a process for a master optical disk having a physical format in which in a groove-and-prepits-included rewritable optical disk, prepits not being on spirals identical to those of a groove, for example, prepits shifted outward and inward by a half-track pitch from the groove center, are recorded, wherein an acoustooptic-effect-used optical deflector or a field-optical-effect-used optical deflector 101 is disposed on an optical path of a mastering apparatus so that a single laser beam is deflected. This process makes it possible to use a single processing scan to perform laser processing for a plurality of arbitrary points, for example, the center of the groove, and positions shifting inward and outward by a half-track pitch from the center.
