Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for controlling recording optical power. When a recording operation is paused, a playback signal characteristic for recorded data is detected. The recording optical power is controlled based upon the detected playback signal characteristic and hence the recording operation is resumed at the controlled recording optical power. Therefore, even though a characteristic of an optical pickup or disc varies when the recording operation is paused and resumed, an optimum recording operation can be performed and a playback characteristic for recorded data can be improved.
