Abstract

In recording data on a rewritable optical disk with a mark edge recording method, the occurrence of edge shift is compensated for. As a first power of a laser beam is greater than a second power, start and termination ends of each mark are produced by irradiation of the first power and a remaining intermediate portion of the mark is produced by irradiating the first and second powers alternately at equal intervals of a predetermined duration which is shorter than a period of a clock pulse. Also, the start and termination ends of the mark are specifically dislocated corresponding to a length of the mark and lengths of two neighbor spaces before and after the mark.
