INFORMATION RECORDING APPARATUS, METHOD OF OPC PROCESS FOR MULTILAYER INFORMATION RECORDING MEDIUM, AND PROGRAM

摘要

The invention is directed to provide an information recording apparatus having an adjusting process device which performs adjusting processes including an OPC process for optimizing a recording power for each of recording layers on a multilayer information recording medium, and an information recording device which performs an information recording process for each of the recording layers based on a result of the adjusting processes for each of the recording layers. The adjusting process device includes an initial adjusting process device which performs the adjusting processes at a start of information recording with the information recording device only for a start recording layer having the first recording start address, and an intermediate adjusting process device which performs the adjusting processes during information recording process with the information recording device for a recording layer other than the start recording layer.
