Abstract
A write power adjustment method makes it possible to set optimum write power with high precision. Trial writing is conducted by using write power Pw,m (where m is an integer) of a plurality of kinds, and a modulation M,m associated with each write power is calculated. Optimum asymptotic power Pasy-opt is calculated by performing predetermined computation by using reference asymptotic power Pasy-ref and reference write start power Pws-ref which are previously determined for each medium. An evaluated value S,m=M,m×(Pw,m−Pasy-opt) is calculated by using the optimum asymptotic power Pasy-opt. Write power Pw that makes the evaluated value S equal to zero when applying straight line approximation to a relation between the write power Pw,m and the evaluated value S,m is calculated as optimum write start power Pws-opt. And optimum write power Pw-opt is found by performing predetermined computation on the optimum write start power Pws-opt.
