An information recording technique for forming a recording mark with a multi-pulse sequence, which is increased by one pulse with an irradiation power Pw for every increase of 2T in a temporal length nT of the recording mark is provided. Particularly, this technique realizes a recording strategy that is simple in its configuration but is capable of improving the consistency of mark shapes in forming the recording marks when the value n of the temporal length nT is an odd number. More specifically, when n is an odd number and n>=7, a period from the fall of a first pulse to the fall of a second pulse is set to 2.5T and a period corresponding to a last pulse is set to (2+delta<SUB>1</SUB>o) T where the value of delta<SUB>1</SUB>o is optimized within a range of 0<delta<SUB>1</SUB>o<=1.
