An information recording apparatus for recording tracks includes: a rotation drive section (RDS) that supports and rotates a master disk with a resist layer; an exposure beam emitting section (EBES) deflectably applying an exposure beam to the disk to form a spot thereon; a relative movement drive section (RMDS) translating the RDS relatively to the spot in a radial direction of the disk; an emission controller supplying the EBES with an instruction for modulating an intensity of the exposure beam according to data to be recorded; and a movement controller supplying the RMDS with an instruction for moving the RDS with the rotating disk by a predetermined moving amount for each disk rotation. The apparatus also includes a deflection controller supplying the EBES with instructions for deflection operations for deflecting the exposure beam in a manner that the spot is successively moved from a first exposure start position in either the opposite or the same direction to a moving direction of the RDS and then, at a point in time when the spot has moved up to an exposure stop position of the disk in predetermined rotation thereof, the spot is intermittently moved to a second exposure start position in the moving direction of the RDS, and wherein the spot is periodically returned to the first exposure start position.
