Abstract

An information recording method where different optimum recording power levels are determined for different mark lengths.At a first trial writing process, first predetermined test data, from which a specific pattern, e.g., 3T is removed, are written with recording power levels being shifted, and a first optimum recording power level is determined based on a reproduction signal of the recorded first test data. Then, at a second trial writing process, second predetermined test data that are constituted by 3T marks are written with the recording power level for the 3T marks being shifted, and with the recording power level for marks other than the 3T marks being set at the first optimum recording level, and a second optimum recording power level for the 3T marks is determined based on a reproduction signal of the recorded second test data.
