ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes: a spindle motor (130) for rotating an optical disk (200); an optical pick-up (100) for applying laser light to the optical disk which moves in a radial direction of the optical disk; a stepping motor (140) for transporting the optical pick-up in the radial direction by a predetermined distance every time the optical disk is rotated plural times; a tracking actuator for actuating a position of laser light irradiated from the optical pick-up; a servo circuit (138) for controlling the tracking actuator in such a manner that irradiation loci of the laser light is made different from each other every time the optical disk is rotated plural times; and a data converter (160) for defining intensity of the laser light in accordance with gradation of dots to be arrayed and a total rotation time of the optical disk.
