Abstract

Multi-pulse trains of a forward laser beam are applied to an optical disc to record mark areas thereon. The multi-pulse trains correspond to the mark areas respectively. The multi-pulse trains represent information to be recorded. Detection is made as to an intensity of a reflected laser beam which results from reflection of the forward laser beam by the optical disc. The detected intensity is divided by a setting intensity to get a division result. A condition of recording of each of the mark areas is detected in response to the division result. An amplitude of each of the multi-pulse trains is controlled in response to the detected condition.
