Abstract

A method and an apparatus capable of recording optical information at high density are disclosed. A recording pulse which includes a top pulse followed by a multiple pulse set is generated to form a pit, wherein, based on the distance from the top pulse, either pulse widths of pulses within the multiple pulse set are set to be sequentially smaller or pulse intervals of pulses within the multiple pulse set are set to be sequentially larger.
