ABSTRACT:
A square laser recording spot, having an energy profile with a very sharp transition between the writing and non-writing area in both dimensions, is created by a shaping the laser energy into a line narrower than the desired spot size and scanning this line to create a square spot. The sharp transition resists changes in the writing process which could vary the size of the mark created by the spot. The square shape of the mark avoids dot gain and eliminates the need for dot gain calibration.
