- the laser power control circuit 1817 outputs to the laser driver 1816 a drive control signal for outputting the laser power by an amount instructed by the system controller 1815.
- the laser driver 1816 supplies a laser drive signal to the laser diode 1803 according to the drawing data from the data converter 1813 and the drive control signal from the laser power control circuit 1817 to cause laser light emission.
- the emitted laser light is received by the front monitor 1804, and a voltage corresponding to the amount of light is supplied to the laser power control circuit 1817.
- the laser power control circuit 1817 performs feedback control so that the intensity of the laser beam matches the target value supplied from the system controller 1815. With such a configuration, the optical disc 1801 is irradiated with laser light corresponding to image data from
- the servo circuit 1809 operates the objective lens (not shown) in the optical axis direction and the radial direction of the optical disc, respectively, according to the focus drive signal and the tracking drive signal supplied to the actuator 1806.

- D about 10 ⁇ m, radial image resolution
- the part that actually changes color is only about 1/10 linear part irradiated with laser light. In other words, the remaining 90% is not changed by laser light, resulting in an unchanging color. As a result, the contrast ratio of the formed image is lowered and the visibility is deteriorated.

- the drawing width varies due to bleeding of the drawing area due to the laser power, there is a problem that the image quality deteriorates.
- the light emission of the drawing pattern at the time of drawing may cause disturbance of the focus error signal, resulting in unstable focus control.
- the width becomes unstable and the image quality deteriorates.

On the other hand, when the number of overlaps is small, it is expected that the accuracy of the obtained image will decrease while the recording time is short.
