An optical disc apparatus and a method of determining an optimal writing power are provided to reduce the time required for Optimum Power Calibration (OPC) and reduce the difference between OPC results. The optical disc apparatus includes a light source which emits a laser beam to write/read data to/from an optical disc; a reader which receives a laser beam reflected from the optical disc and reads data written on the optical disc; and a controller which, to reduce the difference between OPC results, controls the light source to write test data more than once for determining an optimal writing power, controls the reader to read the test data, measures read quality of the test data, and detects an optimal writing power based on the measured read quality.

An optical disc apparatus is provided with optimum power control (OPC) to determine an optimum laser power needed for recording data on an optical disc. Such an apparatus comprises a controller to determine optimum writing power in such a way of re-establishing a new test zone when an erasing error is detected on an initially established test zone in order to perform the OPC. When the erasing error is detected on a test zone of an OPC zone, a new test zone is re-established, so that OPC is performed rapidly while reducing an error frequency occurring when optimum writing power is not determined.

A method to determine an optimal erase power in an optical disc apparatus detects optimal erase power in an erasing operation before performing an optimum power calibration (OPC) for detecting optimal recording power of an optical disc, and includes: acquiring a power-to-modulation curve, in which applied power is changed to adjust an amount of light which is incident on the optical disc; calculating an amount of change of modulation according to the change of the power in the power-to-modulation curve; and setting the optimal erase power using the calculated change amount of the modulation. Therefore, a part to have the OPC performed is erased by the optimal erase power and then the OPC is performed such that an OPC performance result having a relatively high reliability can be obtained.

An optical disc apparatus and a method for performing optical power study thereof can prevent errors for a power study result, which may be generated in a condition that the output power of a laser diode (LD) is saturated at a high temperature, in which the power study detects output characteristics of the LD. The optical disc apparatus includes a laser output device which outputs a laser beam in response to a light output control signal, a sensor which detects some of the outputted laser beam to output a signal corresponding to the outputted laser beam, and a controller which applies the light output control signal of a certain range to the laser output device and which calculates characteristics of the laser output power which is outputted from the laser output device in response to the light output control signal, based on the output signals of the sensor, which correspond to the light output control signal, and whether the laser output device is in a saturated state. Therefore, the optical disc apparatus can prevent errors of the result of the power study procedure generated due to power saturation of the LD at a relatively high temperature, and can correctly obtain the result of the power study procedure at a relatively low temperature.
