ABSTRACT:
In an optical information recording and reproducing apparatus, information is recorded or reproduced by moving a recording medium relative to an optical head. In order to execute information recording onto the medium in the course of the relative movement involving acceleration and deceleration, the generation timing and intensity of a light beam to be generated in correspondence with the information to be recorded are controlled in response to a varying speed of the relative movement so that data pits to be formed in the recording medium can be standardized in pitch and size irrespective of the relative movement speed. Also, in order to permit information reproduction from the medium in the course of the relative movement involving acceleration and deceleration, reproduction timing of data read by the optical head is set in synchronism with variation in the relative movement speed so that the data can be reproduced at proper timing irrespective of the relative movement speed. With such arrangements, there can be achieved a highly increased information recording/reproduction speed, extended information recording area, reduced size and cost of the apparatus, and reduced power consumption in the apparatus.
