摘要:
An information recording apparatus (1) is provided with: a recording device (310) for recording record information onto an information recording medium by irradiating the information recording medium (100) with laser light with a recording power according to a set value; a calculating device (340) for preparing correlation information which represents a correlation between the set value and reproduction quality, and for obtaining a reference set value which gives target reproduction quality as being desired reproduction quality, by reproducing test-record information recorded with changing the set value on the recording device; a measuring device (330) for measuring the reproduction quality, by reproducing the record information recorded by using the reference set value on the recording device; and an adjusting device (400) for obtaining adjustment amount of the reference set value on the basis of the correlation information if the reproduction quality measured by the measuring device is different from the target reproduction quality, and for adjusting the reference set value such that a set value which is adjusted based on the adjustment amount is to be a new reference set value.

摘要:
The information recording apparatus irradiates a laser beam on a recording medium such as an optical disk and forms a recording mark corresponding to a recording signal to record information. A recording pulse signal includes a mark period irradiating the laser beam for forming the recording mark and a space period in which the recording mark is not formed. The mark period has a top pulse period and an intermediate bias period following the top pulse period. The mark period constituted by the top pulse period and the intermediate bias period does not have a continuous part of a plurality of pulses having a small pulse width unlike a pulse train, so that the correct recording mark can be stably formed on the recording medium without an inadequate deformation of a recording pulse shape, even in the case of a high speed recording.

The present invention provides a recording pulse generating apparatus capable of forming a recording pit having a proper shape even at the time of ultra-high-speed recording of, for example, 8× recording or higher. A recording controller 10 for generating recording pulse signals having lengths corresponding to ten kinds of lengths of pits formed at the time of recording information has a recording controller 10 for generating the recording pulse signals so that the amplitude of a recording pulse signal corresponding to a pit having a length of 4 T changes from a first amplitude to a second amplitude, and generating the recording pulse signals so that the amplitude of a recording pulse signal corresponding to a pit having a length of 5 T or longer changes from a third amplitude to a fourth amplitude and further changes to a fifth amplitude.

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. Furthermore, the disc-shaped information recording medium includes a second recording layer (L1 layer) having (I) a second trial write area (101P-2) for trial write of second trial write information for calibration of the laser beam along the second track path (TP2) from the outer circumference toward the inner circumference and (II) a second recording area for recording the second recording information along a second track path (TP2), in this order from the inner circumference side.
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.

An optical recording medium which can produce a read signal free from waveform distortion during reproduction of information. The optical recording medium comprises groove information tracks on which information pits carrying information data is to be formed, and prepit tracks provided with a plurality of previously formed land prepits connected to the groove information tracks. The groove information tracks and the prepit tracks are arranged in alternation. The groove information track has a track width smaller in at least a part of each of sections in which the land prepit exists than in sections in which no land prepit exists.
