Abstract
Abstract In an optical recording system wherein the intensity of a laser beam is modulated with an input modulation signal so as to record information on a recording medium, the intensity modulation of the laser beam is performed after the pulse waveform of the input modulation signal is converted into two pulses which express the front edge and rear edge of the pulse waveform respectively.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
77 words
An optical recording method which includes modulating an intensity of a laser beam with an input modulation signal, and recording a signal on a recording medium by means of the modulated laser beam; comprising: the step of forming two pulses respectively corresponding to a front edge part and a rear edge part of a pulse waveform of the input modulation signal; and the step of modulating the intensity of the laser beam with the two pulse waveforms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
77 words
An optical recording method which includes modulating an intensity of a laser beam with an input modulation signal, and recording a signal on a recording medium by means of the modulated laser beam; comprising: the step of forming two pulses respectively corresponding to a front edge part and a rear edge part of a pulse waveform of the input modulation signal; and the step of modulating the intensity of the laser beam with the two pulse waveforms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
