Abstract

In an optical disk recording and reproducing device which uses an optical disk having at least a first recording layer and a second recording layer, a thickness of a spacer section between the first recording layer and the second recording layer is measured, an amount of defocus with respect to the second recording layer is set based on the measured spacer thickness, and a focus servo operation is performed for focusing the laser light irradiated from an optical pickup device on the second recording layer.
