A recording apparatus, which records information in an optical recording medium, includes: a mode-lock laser unit including a saturable absorber section that applies a bias voltage, a gain section that feeds a gain current, a semiconductor laser that emits laser light used to record the information on the optical recording medium, and an external resonator; an optical modulation unit performing amplification modulation on the laser light emitted from the mode-lock laser unit; a reference signal generation unit generating a master clock signal and supplying a signal synchronized with the master clock signal to the gain section of the semiconductor laser; a recording signal generation unit generating a recoding signal based on the master clock signal; and a driving circuit generating a driving pulse used to drive the optical modulation unit based on the recording signal. |
