Optical information recording method and optical information recording medium

Abstract

An optical information recording method of recording information on an optical information recording medium by irradiation of laser beam, the method comprises the steps of: forming a recording waveform which forms a first pit having a shortest pit length, by using a top pulse having a width narrower than a width of a channel clock cycle; forming a recording waveform which forms a second pit that is second shortest following the first pit, by using the top pulse and a terminal pulse having a width narrower than the width of the channel clock cycle; and forming a recording waveform which forms a pit that is longer than the second pit, by using the top pulse, the terminal pulse, and at least one multipulse formed between the top pulse and the terminal pulse. According to the method described above, pits having stable shape can be formed and thus jitter of reproduced signals can be reduced in an optical information recording medium having a narrow track pitch and high recording density.
