ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for recording information on a disc-shaped record carrier body with a single beam of radiation. The record carrier body is provided with a servo track which preferably exhibits a phase structure and which contains a multitude of sector addresses each associated with a portion provided with a radiation sensitive layer. Before the information is recorded, the beam is switched to a low, read level and the desired address is located. Simultaneously, the radial position and tangential speed of the radiation spot and the focusing of the radiation beam are checked. Once the desired address is located, the beam is switched to a higher, write intensity and the information is recorded on the radiation sensitive layer of the portion associated with that address. During recording, the radiation returning from the record carrier can be used to check whether the information is recorded correctly. During reading of the recorded information, the servo track may be used for positioning the radiation spot on the information track.
