Patent number: 8547811Abstract: With a large capacity of an optical disk and high-speed recording, a frequency of a recording signal is increased and a pulse width is narrowed. In the case that a laser is driven by a signal having the short pulse width, unfortunately the high-speed recording is hardly performed to an optical disk when a rise time and a fall time of the optical pulse are lengthened. During user data recording, a bottom driving current is set to a second bottom driving current value that is a current value of a threshold or less, so that the rise time and the fall time of the optical pulse can be shortened to perform the high-speed recording of the optical disk.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2011Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Kenji Fujiune, Takeharu Yamamoto
