Therefore, in addition to the space immediately before, the reproduction signal is also influenced by the mark immediately before, resulting in optical intersymbol interference.
- the shortest mark length and the shortest space length (2T) are about 0.149 ⁇ m, the immediately preceding mark (2T mark, 3T mark, 4T mark) is outside the effective spot diameter of the light beam. It is not affected by the mark. Therefore, only optical intersymbol interference occurs according to the space length before and after reproduction at the time of reproduction. In addition, the same phenomenon occurs when the space immediately after the 2T mark reproduction is 2T space.
- the conventional method adaptively compensates the pulse edge of the recording pulse according to mark length Problem in high density recording by performing extended type adaptive recording compensation which performs recording compensation according to the mark length before and after the marked mark, as well as the adaptive type recording compensation of It is possible to compensate not only for the thermal interference that results in, but also for the optical intersymbol interference.

However, the positions of the OPCa area and the OPCb area in the radial direction are different between L0 and L1 and L2.

For this reason, even if test recording is performed with an excessive recording power in the L1 and L2 OPCa areas arranged in front of the PIC area, the readout of the disc management information recorded in the PIC area is the added information Alternatively, it is more reliable than reading out rewritable information. Therefore, even if the PIC area of L0 and the OPCa areas of L1 and L2 are arranged to overlap, the reliability at the time of reading the disc management information recorded in the PIC area is not significantly impaired. By arranging the PIC area and the OPCa area in an overlapping manner, it is possible to efficiently use the space of the lead-in zone and secure a sufficient OPC area.

- the information recording apparatus can use the recording compensation type as follows. For example, consider an optical information recording medium in which the desired optical characteristics can be confirmed with the recording compensation type which is not pre-mark compensated. Even with such an optical information recording medium, since there are information recording devices of various characteristics in the market, depending on the combination between the information recording device and the optical information recording medium, a desired recording quality is obtained. There is a possibility that can not be confirmed. In this case, the information recording apparatus performs test recording called recording compensation learning for obtaining an optimum recording compensation value with the write strategy parameter described in the DI unit as an initial value. At that time, it is desirable that it is known in advance which recording compensation type is effective for performing the recording compensation in accordance with the optical information recording medium, the information recording layer, and the recording speed. Therefore, information of the recording compensation type effective for performing the recording learning is set as the recording compensation type of the DI unit.

Is set as “invalid”, and when the information recording apparatus reads out the recording compensation type of the DI unit, the effect of the back space compensation can not be expected so much with the predetermined information recording layer of the optical information recording medium and the recording speed. When it is determined in advance that the recording compensation is performed by performing test recording, recording compensation learning of the recording compensation type in which the above-described effect can not be expected can be omitted.
- the accuracy of the shift adjustment of the recording mark can be improved by preferentially performing the recording compensation learning of the recording compensation type having a high effect of “effective” in the recording compensation type.
- the recording compensation type and the recording compensation type flag of the present embodiment are recorded in advance in desired bits of the DI unit. As a result, by using up the OPC area, it is possible to obtain an effect of reducing the loss of the recording opportunity that the data can not be written on the optical disc.
- the optical information recording medium there is also an optical information recording medium in which the influence of thermal interference due to the diffusion of heat from the immediately preceding mark is large.
