Abstract

A write control method for writing optical disk data wherein pits are written by a write signal composed of mark signal parts and space signal parts, and a length of each pit represents the optical disk data, comprising the steps of: converting the mark signal parts to pulses and generating a series of pulse trains which correspond to lengths of the mark signal parts, respectively; controlling a lengths and/or amplitude of each of the pulse trains in accordance with a length of the space signal part immediately before the mark signal part; and applying successively the controlled pulse trains to a laser irradiation device so that the pits are written.
