Optical recording method, optical recording apparatus, and optical recording medium

摘要

In a phase change optical recording medium, time required for recording the unrecorded area as well as jitter produced are reduced. Provided is an optical recording method for recording an optical recording medium having a phase change recording layer, wherein the recording is conducted such that: VW/Vo>1, and 0.3<Pew/Peo<1 when unrecorded area of the recording layer is recorded by using a linear velocity of VW and an erasing power of Pew and overwritten by using a linear velocity of Vo and an erasing power of Peo,
