RECORDING STRATEGY ADJUSTING METHOD AND OPTICAL DISC RECORDING/REPRODUCING DEVICE

摘要

A recording strategy for specifying an output waveform of a laser beam to be applied to a recording layer of an information recording medium is adjusted by the following recording strategy adjusting method. The recording strategy adjusting method includes a base strategy determining step of determining a basic recording strategy; a first top pulse width setting step wherein the shortest mark in a pattern row formed on the recording layer of the information recording medium is specified after the base strategy determining step, and the width of a top pulse, i.e., a pulse for recording the shortest mark, is set; and a step of adjusting a power, including a recording power and a bias power, for recording.
