Abstract

An optical method for recording, reproducing, and erasing a digital signal of a mark length recording system onto/from an optical recording medium such as an optical disc or the like eliminates a fluctuation of the edge position of the reproduction signal due to heat interference between pits, thereby reducing a fluctuation of the edge position due to a fluctuation of external environmental conditions. For this purpose, there are proposed the following methods: 1) the shape of the recording pulse waveform is controlled, 2) the density at which data is recorded to the disc is variably set in accordance with the disc position, 3) a test recording is executed prior to recording user data, and the like. With these methods, a superhigh density optical recording can be realized.
