<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To conduct accurate control of optical disks such as a DVD-R and a DVD-RW, on which LPP is formed, by eliminating adverse effect due to the change in returned light quantity caused by existence of the LPP. <P>SOLUTION: An information recording device is provided with a pickup that irradiates recording light beams onto a disk, on which prepits are formed, and outputs data related to returned light quantity, an interval determining circuit that determines a data obtaining interval in which the returned light beams are not affected by the prepits, a sample-and-hold circuit which obtains the data relative to the returned light quantity in the interval and a microcomputer which controls recording power based on the data. The microcomputer obtains the returned light quantity data within a data obtaining interval in which the returned light beams are not affected by the prepits and controls the recording power based on the data. The sample-and-hold circuit detects pit levels or the like in a recording mark interval of 9T to 11T which are hardly affected by the LPP and controls the recording power based on the above result. Thus, an accurate recording power control is executed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
