An information recording apparatus and a method therefor which can form a beam guide groove in the shape of highly accurate rectangle having abrupt edges. A recording mark is formed by exposing a recording medium with a recording beam having a beam diameter smaller than the beam guide groove, while periodically vibrating the recording beam in a direction perpendicular to a recording track on the recording medium, or in both horizontal and vertical directions of the recording track. For this purpose, the information recording apparatus for forming a recording mark of a predetermined width in accordance with recording information on a recording surface of an information recording medium comprises, in addition to components conventionally provided therein, recording beam generator for generating a recording beam having a smaller diameter than the width of the recording mark, a displacement information generator for generating displacement information of the recording beam based on the generated recording information, and a beam position controller for offsetting the recording beam based on the displacement information.
