An optical disc system includes a disc recording unit for recording an information signal on an optical disc by switching irradiation power of laser light to be applied to the optical disc in accordance with the information signal. The disc recording unit includes a semiconductor laser; a laser-power controlling circuit for outputting a laser-driving-current instruction signal; a recording-pulse generating circuit for outputting a laser-modulation timing pulse; a laser driving circuit for generating a laser driving current in accordance with the laser-driving-current instruction signal and the laser-modulation timing pulse; and a correction-data storage for storing as correction data the shift between the laser-modulation timing pulse and the pulse position of the laser driving current. The optical disc system further includes a controller for correcting the pulse position of the laser driving current to a desired position by correcting the position of the laser-modulation timing pulse with the correction data.
