Abstract
Recording operations for an optical disk recorder are calibrated by adjusting recording power level (light intensity) such that a permissible crosstalk can be detected in adjacent erased tracks. Following the power level calibration, pulse duration or width is calibrated for a predetermined symmetry of recorded pulses along the calibration track. Various sequences and procedures are described. Calibration occurs at a plurality of radially spaced-apart tracks.
