摘要:
A data storage medium is provided on which data is to be recorded by modulating the data to generate a plurality of recording modulation codes and irradiating a pulse-like light beam to the data storage medium, so that a plurality of recording marks and spaces which have lengths corresponding to the plurality of recording modulation codes are formed on the data storage medium. The data storage medium comprises a disc information area that includes a region on which at least one of an irradiation information of the light beam to form the recording marks and a constitution information of the recording mark is to be recorded. At least two of the plurality of recording marks are formed by the light beam emitted according to a recording pulse train. The recording pulse train comprises a first pulse which is disposed at a front and forms a leading edge of the recording mark, a last pulse which is disposed at a backend and forms a trailing edge of the recording mark, and a multi-pulse train which is disposed between the first pulse and the last pulse and forms a center of the recording mark. The multi-pulse train has a pulse period longer than T which represents a reference period of the recording modulation code. The plurality of recording marks have different lengths represented by T with each other. A number of pulses in each of the recording pulse trains is increased by one as the recording mark is increased in length by 2T. A shortest recording mark and a second shortest recording mark are constituted of a single pulse, respectively. Each of the multi-pulse trains has an equal pulse width and pulse interval in the plurality of recording marks.

A reverse pattern is formed in a track adjacent to a specified track on an optical recording medium with a predetermined light beam capable of writing large recording marks. Thereafter, a normal pattern is formed in an area, of an adjacent track, which is adjacent to the reverse pattern in the specified track with recording light beams of various strengths, the adjacent track being adjacent to the specified track. The specified track is read to detect a plurality of read-out signals according to individual light beam conditions. The adjacent track is read to detect a plurality of read-out signals according to individual light beam conditions. An optimum recording condition is determined for the specified track from the plurality of light beam condition and the read-out signals from the specified track and the adjacent track, and information is recorded in the specified track according to the optimum recording condition. Thus, even when there exists a difference in recording sensitivity between adjacent tracks, since the width of the recording marks can be controlled to be optimum, cross-talk between tracks during signal reproduction and cross-erase during signal recording are restrained to minimum levels, and recording density is improved.

摘要:
A high-speed large capacity file system is built in which the track density is improved by applying a highly precise magnetic domain width control technique to a light pulse-irradiated magnetic field modulation magnetooptical disk device which can be overwritten and is suitable for the improvement of the bit density. For the purpose, bipolar magnetic domains having edges of positive and negative polarities with respect to the direction of movement of a light spot are formed and the recording condition is optimized. Normal recording is carried out on the basis of the result of the optimization of the recording condition.
