Patent ID: 8098551

Claim:
A recording power calibration method for improving seeking stability on a power calibration area, the method being for performing an optimal recording power calibration once when an optical disk is placed into an optical drive, and thus obtaining optimal recording power, wherein a specific area serving as a data recording area during the optimal recording power calibration, and being such that a plurality of times of the optimal recording power calibration can be performed, the method comprising: an optimal recording power calibration step, for recording, with different recording powers, a first length of calibration data in the specific area, and calibrating the optimal recording power, wherein a data sector recorded in this step is defined as a calibration recording sector; and a data recording step, for recording, with data recording power, a second length of information having a logical address beside the calibration recording sector of the specific area, wherein a data sector recorded in this step is defined as an information recording sector, wherein the data recording power is the optimal recording power.
