Abstract

The present invention provides a device and method for an optical disc such as a DVD which can keep proper edge position of a recording pulse to record data of high quality without depending on a fluctuation in a supply voltage and a fluctuation in a temperature. The optical disc device according to the present invention comprises a laser driver for driving a laser to record data on an optical disc, a recording pulse generator for generating a recording pulse signal by using a predetermined delay circuit, to control the switching of the laser power of the laser driver, a delay amount measuring section for measuring the delay amount of a delay circuit in the recording pulse generator, and a recording pulse position correction section for correcting the predetermined edge position of the recording pulse based on the result of the measurement.
