A galvanometer mirror rotates in one direction when the galvanometer
mirror is used. A spot can be scanned on an irradiated surface at a more
constant speed by rotating the galvanometer mirror and by using the
inertia. Moreover, it is preferable to make the galvanometer mirror heavy
because the inertia becomes higher so that the spot is scanned at a more
constant speed. In addition, in a polygon mirror of this invention,
mirrors are arranged so as not to contact each other because a change
time of the scanning position between the mirrors is provided. By moving
the irradiated object with timing together when the laser light is not
irradiated, the laser process can be performed efficiently.
