Recording and reproducing apparatus and laser-driving pulse adjusting method

摘要

A recording and reproducing apparatus includes optical head means for writing and reading information expressed by a mark and a space on an optical recording medium by irradiating laser light to the optical recording medium, laser-drive pulse generating means for creating and supplying a laser-driving pulse in accordance with information to write to the optical head means and causing the optical head means to perform the irradiation of laser light for writing, mark edge error detecting means for detecting an error of the edge position of the mark from a signal read out from the optical recording medium by the optical head means; and adjustment control means for defining the adjustment on a laser-driving pulse generated by the laser-driving pulse generating means.
