It is an object of the present invention to provide an information
recording method for recording information in a data rewritable type
optical recording medium having a plurality of information recording
layers, which can form recording marks having good shapes. In the
information recording method according to the present invention, a
plurality of recording marks selected from a group consisting of several
types of recording marks with different lengths are formed in an optical
recording medium 10 having at least a stacked L0 layer 20 and L1 layer 30
by projecting a laser beam via a light incidence plane. In the case of
forming at least one recording mark among the several types of recording
marks in L0 layer 20, the recording powers of a top pulse T.sub.top and a
last pulse T.sub.lp of the laser beam are set to Pw0' lower than the
recording power Pw0 of a multi-pulse T.sub.mp thereof.
