Abstract

The device according to the invention realize the following steps: PA1 (a) recording of binary test words on an optical disc associated to distinct engraving optical powers and comprising monotonous series of "1" and "0" logic bits of equal duration; PA1 (b) reading of these words; PA1 (c) measurement of the durations of these bits in the "1" state and bits in the "0" state, PA1 (d) determination of the optical power for which this ratio is closest to one; PA1 (d) elaboration and putting in memory of a control signal allowing to obtain this power. In a preferred variant, several test words are recorded and an interpolation is carried out between the measurements.
