It is desired that the overshooting and undershooting of optical pulse waveforms of optical pickups included in optical disk devices be reduced to improve the quality of recording. Among pulses to be recorded, the trailing edge of each last pulse and the leading edge of the subsequent erase top pulse are made to almost coincide with each other. Ratio a/b, where a is the difference between erase top pulse power level Pet and erasing power level Pe and b is the difference between recording power level Pw and the erasing power level Pe, is adjusted to realize an optical pulse waveform with reduced overshooting and undershooting for each of different recording media. Erase top pulse duration Tert is switched according to different recording speeds for different recording media.

An objective of the present invention is to enhance reliability of recorded data by preventing deterioration of OPC (Optimum Power Calibration) accuracy due to an influence of inter-layer interference in an optical disk device capable of writing in a multilayer optical disk. Aiming at the objective, a relationship between asymmetry and a signal modulation depth, which are measured by use of a standard driver is referred, and thereby an offset caused by a device, a disk, a writing state of another layer and the like is compensated. Thus, OPC is executed.
