摘要:
When a bias power level of a recording pulse waveform is varied entirely or partially, a shape of the recording pulse wave form is varied according to the variation. For example, when the bias power level is increased, a width or an edge position of a top pulse or a multi-pulse of the recording pulse waveform is varied correspondingly. Thereby, a total heat quantity of a recording laser light is not increased, and a preferable recording characteristic is maintained.

A disc-shaped information recording medium includes a first recording layer (L0 layer) having (I) a first trial write area (101P-1) for trial write of first trial write information for calibration of the laser beam along the first track path (TP1) from the inner circumference toward the outer circumference and (II) a first recording area for recording the first recording information along a first track path (TP1), in this order from the inner circumference side.

摘要:
Based on a recording signal, a recording pulse signal, which includes a top pulse located at a front end portion and having a first magnitude, a last pulse located at a back end portion and having the first magnitude, and an intermediate bias portion located between the top pulse and the last pulse and having a second magnitude, is generated. Based on the recording pulse signal, a light source is controlled, and a laser pulse is irradiated on a recording medium. Recording marks corresponding to the recording signal are formed on the recording medium. In generating the recording pulse signal, when the recording medium is rotationally driven, a position of the top pulse is shifted ahead of a position of the top pulse when the recording medium is rotationally driven at the first rotation speed, when the recording medium is rotationally driven at the second control speed.

An optical recording medium is designed to generate a read signal free from waveform distortion during reproduction of information. The optical recording medium is formed with information tracks on which data pits carrying information data is to be formed, and prepit tracks previously formed with a plurality of prepits. Each of the information tracks and each of the prepit tracks are positioned adjacent to each other, and each of the prepits is formed to be spaced apart from adjacent information tracks in at least its bottom part.
