Abstract

A light beam (30) including a random polarization and radiated from a light source, such as laser oscillator (6) is separated into P wave polarization light beam and S wave polarization light beam by a beam splitter 33. After modulated by image information representative of characters to be printed, both the P and S wave polarization beams are merged and the resultant light beam is projected on the surface of a workpiece for marking a pattern.
