A beam shaping device, an optical head, and a master disk recording apparatus

摘要

A beam shaping device (103) shapes a light beam from a light source to have a circular cross section, and changes the refractive index thereof by causing an electric field to be produced by a voltage applied to electrodes (110,111) thereof. In this way, the light beam from the light source is deflected, and an objective lens gather the shaped and deflected light beam to expose an optical disk. <IMAGE>
