Optical information recording device, optical information recording method, and signal processing circuit

Abstract

It is an object of certain inventive aspects to provide a recording condition closer to an optimum even for a medium unknown to a drive, and more particularly, to provide means for obtaining a preferable recording condition even for a high-speed recording in which conducting a test recording is difficult. In order to accomplish the object, a power and a phase of a recording pulse are simultaneously corrected at predetermined timing, depending on a recording speed or a recording position such as an inner or outer circumference. For instance, a phase shift ΔPhase generated due to a continuing recording from an inner circumference to an outer circumference at ×2 speed is corrected simultaneously with a correction of a power shift at the timing when a recording speed is changed from ×2 to ×4. For the other recording speed, in the same manner as above, a power and a phase shift are simultaneously corrected at every time when a recording speed is changed.
