In the related art, writing of BCA data has been performed by a BCA cutter or the like after a user data area was formed. However, according to such a method, individual steps cannot help being provided for a disc manufacturing step in order to form the BCA. A burden on the disc manufacturer is large from a viewpoint of the number of disc producing steps and, further, manufacturing costs. By using a bit forming method similar to a user data area, the BCA manufacturing steps can be reduced. Specifically speaking, by devising a pit depth, a pit width, and a pit pattern, a modulation degree of a BCA portion can be further increased. A detecting method similar to that for the BCA in the related art can be applied.
摘要:
The invention prevents mark distortion during high-speed recording on an optical disc, thereby improving recording performance. A write pulse signal includes mark periods during which marks 201 are formed and space periods during which no marks are formed. Particular mark periods include a top pulse 101 having first write power Pw; a bias pulse 102 that follows the top pulse 101 and has bias power Pm lower than the first write power Pw; and a last pulse 103 that follows the bias pulse 102 and has second write power Pl lower than the first write power Pw.
