METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECORDING DATA ON OPTICAL RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

A method and apparatus for recording data on an optical recording medium are provided. In the method of recording data on the optical recording medium, a mark or a space is formed using a recording waveform having an erase pattern including a predetermined pulse whose high level is higher than an erase power level and whose low level is lower than the erase power level. Thus, the shape of the mark can be prevented from being distorted and be improved, which results in an improvement in the recording/reproducing characteristics.
