A plurality of elongated beams are generated by dividing a laser beam (3), said plurality of beams being respectively applied to corresponding lens elements of a flyeye lens (4) array. The structure is arranged in such a manner that the diameter of the plurality of the beams in the shorter direction is made smaller than that of each of the lens elements, so that the plurality of beams are further divided into a plurality of elongated secondary beams by the flyeye lens. The plurality of the secondary beams are bundled on a diaphragm in such a manner that their lengthwise directions substantially coincide with each other so that a beam pattern is formed. A row of openings arranged in the lengthwise direction of the beam pattern and formed in the diaphragm member are uniformly and efficiently irradiated with the thus-formed beam pattern. Then, the image of the row of openings is projected onto a plastic plate (12) or the like so that a multiplicity of holes are formed in the plate. As a result, a nozzle plate of an ink jet printer head can be accurately and quickly manufactured. <IMAGE> |
