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 information recording medium is provided with a wobbled track, wherein at least a part of the track is subjected to wobbling based on a wobble signal in which at least a part of recording information is randomized. Each track is wobbled at a randomized frequency, so that a frequency of a wobbling signal obtained from the wobbled track is randomized. As a result, the influence of crosstalk between adjacent track is reduced.

By the control information recording method, control information to control at least one of recording and reproducing operations of record information on an information record medium is recorded onto a guide track of the information record medium. The control information recording method is provided with the steps of: generating a control information timing signal one after another at an interval corresponding to a length of a control information unit equal to an N (N: predetermined integer not less than 2) multiple of a length of a record information unit of the record information; and recording the control information onto the guide track of the information record medium, on the basis of a timing corresponding to the control information timing signal.

At least a portion of groove tracks in a information-data recording region of an optical recording medium comprises a plurality of groove portions separated by groove-absent portions in a rotational direction of the optical recording medium, each of the mark portions or each of the space portions includes one of the groove-absent portions. At least one of two groove tracks adjacent to prepit train, which is formed in land tracks, has a continuous groove portion or a groove-absent portion extending at least from a leading end to a trailing end of at least one prepit included in the prepit train in a rotational direction of the optical recording medium. The frequency band for separation of the groove tracks includes at least a portion of a frequency band of a modulated recording signal for recording information data on the optical recording medium.

摘要:
A power calibration area is provided for obtaining an optimum recording power and a first information recording area is provided after the power calibration area. A test recording area is formed after the first information recording area for obtaining an optimum recording power for recording information in a next information recording area.
摘要:
An apparatus for recording information on a recordable optical disc by applying a light beam on the surface thereof, the disc includes a first recording area on which information is recorded and reproduced while the disc is rotated at a first linear velocity; and a second recording area on which information is recorded and reproduced while the disc is rotated at a second linear velocity. The first recording area includes a test recording area. The apparatus includes recording power determining unit for determining first optimum recording power for recording information on the first area by a test recording utilizing the test recording area, and for determining second optimum recording power for recording information on the second area by multiplying the first optimum recording power by a predetermined constant.
