Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for writing information on an optical recording medium by setting an optimum write power for recording information on the optical recording medium. First a series of test patterns is written on the medium, each test pattern being written with a different write power. On reading the test patterns, the modulation of each read signal is determined. The modulations as a function of write power are curve-fitted to an analytic function. The normalised derivative of this function is determined analytically and is used to determine the value of the optimum write power for the medium.
