Abstract
An information recording apparatus capable of forming a fine mark reliably and highly precisely through compensation for thermal interference and heat accumulation. The information recording apparatus is provided with a recording energy irradiating unit for generating at least two recording waveforms when marks of the same length or spaces of the same length in a channel data sequence are recorded. The information recording apparatus constructed as above can realize highly reliable recording/reproducing operations and can be made compact at a low cost with a large storage capacity.
