Abstract
Methods and devices are described for writing an optical record carrier, in which a mark representing recorded data is written in a phase-change layer of a record carrier by a sequence of radiation pulses. A rear heating pulseis introduced after a last write pulseand a front heating pulseis introduced before the first write pulse. The power levelof the front heating pulse and the power levelof the rear heating pulse may be dependent on the length of the mark to be recorded and on properties of the record carrier. The method results in a reduced jitter of the marks written, especially when writing at high recording speeds.
