Abstract
A recording condition on a media is optimized by introducing a new evaluation index. An apparatus for optical information recording and reproducing includes: a measurement means for recording codes including a specific code in a medium for optical information recording and reproducing, reproducing the codes from the medium for optical information recording and reproducing, and measuring, from a reproduced signal of the codes, a peak value of amplitude of a reproduced signal related to the specific code, the peak value being a maximum value or a minimum value of the amplitude of the reproduced signal related to the specific code; a statistic calculation means for calculating preset statistic by using a plurality of peak values at the same or different recording places, the plurality of peak value having been obtained by the measurement means; and a condition decision means for deciding at least one of a recording laser power condition and a recording pulse condition by using the statistic. The peak value and the statistic thereof serving as a new evaluation index are effective for evaluation of the apparatus for optical information recording and reproducing or setting of a recording condition in the specification.
