To write on optical media, for example, semiconductor lasers are used to heat the media spot by spot. When the material layer of the optical medium is heated above its melting point, the material of the material layer melts spot by spot. If no further energy is supplied, the information carrier material cools rapidly and changes from the molten state to the amorphous state. The supply of energy, which keeps the information carrier material for some time under the melting temperature but above the crystallization temperature inherent in this material, transforms the information carrier material into the crystalline state. Since the reflection characteristics of the information carrier layer in the crystalline state and the reflection characteristics of the information carrier layer in the amorphous state are quite different, the stored data is read out again by an evaluation of the amount of reflected light.

In a writing operation, the phase state of the information carrier layer is determined by the energy applied to a region during a period of time, but the material is contaminated by stains such as fingerprints or dust particles on the optical storage medium. Since the absorbed energy is absorbed, the control of the output generated by the semiconductor laser as described above is not sufficient. If the energy provided by the semiconductor laser is too small due to contamination, the energized spots on the information carrier layer may be in an amorphous state instead of being in a crystalline state, which can be affected by the laser projection. The opposite of the effect obtained. If the energy of the compensation for dirt is chosen to be too high, the energy provided to the dirt-free spot will be too high and the information carrier material may undesirably turn into a crystalline state. This results in the fact that information is written that does not correspond to the information that should be written.

An optical recording device in which the amount of light rays used for writing is controlled by changing the reflected light is known from Japanese Patent No. 5292672. The reflected light is buffered by the sample and hold circuit and compared with the reference value. The difference between the measured value and the reference value is used to control the amount of light emitted by the semiconductor laser and used for writing.

When the highly reflective (ie crystalline) state is written, the reflected amount of light is preferably measured by a signal peak detector and compared to a reference value. The output of the semiconductor laser is readjusted as appropriate, for example, when there is a deviation due to dirt on the surface of the storage medium. The readjustment factor determined by such a method is retained for when the low reflection (ie, amorphous) state is written. In the present invention, it is assumed that the surface of the present invention is widely covered with dirt that affects the writing operation. Individual readjustments in writing in the low reflection state are therefore not necessary. Channel coding ensures that each state is repeated a limited number of times. This allows
It is guaranteed that the highly reflective states are not too far apart and that the distance between the highly reflective states to be written is generally less than the extent of the stain.
