Abstract
In an optical recording medium having a plurality of recording layers on which information can be recorded by irradiating a laser beam from one side thereof, an optimum recording power to each of the recording layers can be determined. The optical recording medium has a plurality of recording layers on which information can be recorded by irradiating a laser beam from one side thereof, and each of the recording layers has a power calibration area (PCA) for optimizing the intensity of the laser beam.
Claims12
An optical recording medium comprising:
- an optical-transmissible first substrate;
- a first recording layer disposed on said first substrate, on which information can be recorded by irradiating a laser beam from the first substrate's side;
- a second recording layer disposed on said first recording layer, on which information can be recorded by irradiating said laser beam;
- and
- each of said first recording layer and said second recording layer including power calibration areas to optimizing intensity of said laser beam;
- wherein recording of information on said first recording layer and recording of information in said second recording layer are performed forward opposite directions, and
- an optimum power control is performed on said first and second recording layers before recording any user data on said optical recording medium.
