Patent ID: 8045439

Claim:
A system for writing to an optical storage medium, the system comprising: an encoding module configured to encode a data stream to generate an encoded data stream; and a laser driver module configured to convert the encoded data stream into a write signal including one or more edges, wherein the write signal is output to an optical writer, and adjust an actual position at which the optical writer writes a first edge of the one or more edges on the optical storage medium away from a desired position for the first edge, wherein the adjustment of the actual position at which the optical writer writes the first edge is made based on (i) a first preceding edge position, (ii) a first following edge position, (iii) at least one of a second preceding edge position or a second following edge position, and (iv) at least one of a third preceding edge position or a third following edge position, and wherein the first edge corresponds to a beginning of the write signal.
