Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a calibration section controls an LD driving section so as to carry out test writing on a recording layer of an optical disc using a light pulse having relaxation oscillation, irradiates the test-written area with a reproduction laser beam so as to detect reflected light, and determine write strategy based on the detected result. A recording process is executed on the optical disc by using the light pulse having relaxation oscillation based on the write strategy determined by the calibration section.

Abstract:
According to one embodiment, an apparatus which records a signal in a recording medium in which information is written by using a first laser having a first wavelength and from which information is read by using a second laser having a second wavelength longer than that of the first laser, a signal is recorded in the recording medium by using the first laser, and a control section reproduces the signal recorded with the first laser and measures a first amount that is used to calculate a target value for optimization of recording conditions, reproduces a signal recorded with the second laser and measures a second amount for optimization of a reproduction signal, compares the first amount with the second amount, and determines the first amount under the recording conditions where the second amount becomes optimum as a target value for optimization of the recording conditions.
Abstract:
This invention achieves high-density recording while preventing recording units from overlapping. Recording is done to form a gap between predetermined recording units. Since this gap is formed, even when a rotation driving mechanism of a medium suffers rotation nonuniformity, two neighboring recording units never overlap each other, and destruction of recording data can be prevented.

Abstract:
The refractive index of a light transmission layer of an optical disk is set within the range of 1.45 to 1.75, the numerical aperture of a lens emitting laser light which is incident onto the light transmission layer is set to 0.65, and the wavelength range of the laser light is set within the range of 395 to 415 nm. Further, in order that aberrations fall within the range of certain acceptable values, the thickness t of the light transmission layer is set within the range of f(n)−t1≦t≦f(n)+t2, employing constants t1, t2 determined based on an acceptable value of aberration and function f(n) of the refractive index n.
