Method of controlling recording of optical records
First Claim
1. A control method of controlling recording and reproducing of optical records in an optical magnetic disk apparatus using a mark length recording method, comprising the steps of:
- recording a predetermined test pattern on a recording medium;
reproducing said predetermined test pattern;
controlling at least one shift amount selected from a defocus amount of a laser beam on a recording medium, a position shift amount of a recording position on a track at which recording is performed on said recording medium and a power shift amount of laser power irradiated during recording, to reduce a distortion of the reproduced said predetermined test pattern to less than a first predetermined value;
obtaining control information under various environments in which optical recording and reproducing are performed, by repeating said steps of recording, reproducing said predetermined test patterns and controlling;
recording general data on said recording medium by setting an optimum pulse width or an optimum laser power for recording on a basis of said control information; and
reproducing said general data by subjecting a reproduced said general data to wave-equalizing processing, to reduce a distortion of said general data reproduced to less than a second predetermined value which is less than said first predetermined value.

Abstract
In a write control method on an optical recording, at least one shift amount selected from the defocus amount of a laser beam on a recording medium, the shift amount of a recording position on a recording track and the shift amount of laser power during recording is controlled such that the selected amount falls within a predetermined range. Subsequently, a trial signal is trially recorded at a plurality of trial zones on the recording medium by using a laser power value as a parameter. The recorded trial signal is read and a difference ΔV between center levels of a highest density waveform and a lowest density waveform is detected. In connection with each trial zone, the laser power value when a reading trial signal which makes the difference ΔV minimum is recorded is defined as an optimum recording power value. Regular data is recorded at a predetermined storage area on the recording medium by using an optimum laser power value determined in connection with a trial zone closest to the predetermined storage area.
