To make recordings, it is necessary to modulate the write pulse, which is called “Write Strategy”.
There can be many types in Write Strategy. Typically Write Strategy for DVD ±R has NMP(Non Multi-Pulse) type and
MP(Multi-Pulse) type. In NMP type each single mark is created by subsequent separated short pulses. In MP type each
single mark is created by one continuous pulse.
Write Strategy for DVD ±RW has Type 1 and Type2. In Type 1 the mark with nT width is created by one top pulse and (n-2)
multi-pulses. Thus mark 3T is made by one top pulse and one multi-pulse. In Type 2 the mark with nT width is created by
one top pulse and (n-3) multi-pulses. Thus mark 3T is made by one top pulse only.
RL-02A uses MP type Write Strategy for DVD ±R and Type 1 for DVD ±RW as shown below.
