Abstract

Before a signal is recorded on an optical disk, irradiations are made with plural light irradiation conditions of variable irradiation power or pulse width, optical conditions of irradiated portions are detected by detecting changes in the reflectivity or transmissivity or errors, and the optimum irradiation conditions are determined by comparing the detected results and the light irradiation conditions. In particular, by determining the optimum irradiation conditions in reference to the point where the change in reflectivity or transmissivity is greatest with respect to changes in the irradiation power, the optimum light irradiation conditions can be determined in a short time.
