摘要:
An information recording device, an information recording method, and an information recording program capable of recording information with an appropriate modulation degree, a high asymmetry, and small waveform distortion. The information recording device applies a laser beam to a recording medium such as a DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW and forms a recording mark corresponding to a recording signal, thereby recording information. A recording pulse signal for forming the recording mark corresponding to the recording signal has a mark period for forming the recording mark and a space period not forming the recording mark. In test recording performed prior to actual information recording, a long mark recording power is kept constant while a short mark recording power is changed. Preferably, the short mark recording power in the test write is changed so that the asymmetry and/or the beta value is a value within a desired range.

An information recording and reproducing device diffracts by a diffracting means (14) to make laser light separated into a main beam and a sub-beam, irradiates evanescent light in relation to the main beam, by an evanescent light generating means (21), to a track where a recording pit provided on a recording surface of a recording medium is formed and also irradiates evanescent light in relation to the sub-beam to be separated to a track where no recording pit provided on the recording surface of the recording medium is formed. A moving means (210) moves the evanescent light generating means to a direction to change a gap with the recording surface. Further, a judging means (40) judges an uneven state of the recording pit formed on the recording medium, a signal generating means (3161) generates a gap error signal from a signal indicative of a return light amount in relation to the sub-beam or the main beam in accordance with the result, a control means (315) controls the moving means in accordance with a gap error signal so as to make the gap become a target value in response to the uneven state to be judged.

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.

An information recording apparatus in which a laser beam is applied to a recording medium and a recording mark corresponding to a recording signal is formed includes a light source for emitting a laser beam and signal generating means for generating a recording pulse signal for driving the light source according to the recording signal. The recording pulse signal includes a mark period during which a recording mark is formed and a space period during which no recording mark is formed. During the mark period corresponding to a long mark, the level of the recording pulse signal corresponds to a recording power with which the reproduction compatibility is ensured and the waveform distortion is at or below a predetermined value.
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.
