ABSTRACT:
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for recording data in an optical recording medium which can record data in a write-once type optical recording medium at a high linear recording velocity using a laser beam whose recording power is set low. The method for recording data in an optical recording medium according to the present invention is constituted so that data are recorded by a laser beam whose power is modulated in accordance with a pulse train pattern onto an optical recording medium including a substrate, a first recording layer, a second recording layer and a light transmission layer to form a recording mark wherein a recording pulse is divided into (n−1) divided pulses and the power of the laser beam is set to a recording power Pw at the peak of each of the divided pulses and set to a first bottom power Pb1and the levels of the recording power Pw and the first bottom power Pb1are determined so that a ratio Pb1/Pw of the first bottom power Pb1to the recording power Pw falls within a range of 0.1 to 0.5. When the power of a laser beam is modulated using such a pulse train pattern to record data in an optical recording medium, the heating of a recording layer by the laser beam having the recording power Pw can be augmented by the laser beam having the first bottom power Pb1and therefore, even in the case where data are to be recorded in an optical recording medium at a high linear recording velocity, it is possible to record data in the optical recording medium at a high linear recording velocity using a semiconductor laser having a low output.
