Abstract

An optical recording control method determines an optimum recording laser power by effecting a test recording before information to be recorded is recorded on a disk. The recording laser power is formed of a plurality of powers. A relationship among the plurality of laser powers is regulated by power level ratios between respective powers, whereby a power used when a laser light is radiated on the disk can be controlled to be constant independent of an ambient temperature and a structure of a disk. Therefore, accurate recording marks can be formed on the disk.
