Abstract

A signal recording method for an optical disk and an apparatus therefor wherein a turn-off duration, during which a laser beam is turned-off, of a binary signal to be recorded on the optical disk is elongated and an irradiation duration, during which the laser beam is irradiated, of the binary signal is shortened, so that it is possible to avoid influence of thermal diffusion which is caused by irradiating the laser beam corresponding to the irradiation duration on the optical disk and to obtain a more precise reproduced signal in comparison with that obtained by prior arts.
