A light emission adjustment processing unit of a laser diode sequentially instructs a D/A converter for light emission of a light emission by test powers at two predetermined two points, allows the laser diode to emit the light, instructs a D/A converter for subtraction of subtraction currents corresponding to the test powers at two points, and measures each power by an A/D converter for monitoring. From the measurement results, a relation of the instruction values to an arbitrary power in each D/A converter is obtained by a linear approximation and registered into a power table. When deciding an optimum writing power by a test write, a limit power on the lower limit side is detected while gradually decreasing the writing power from a starting power and a predetermined offset is added to the detected limit power, thereby obtaining the optimum writing power.
