1. A signal output method comprising:
providing a write permission signal including a repetition of a write enable interval and a pause interval;
providing a write data signal to be output during the write enable interval;
outputting a write signal including the write permission signal and the write data signal; and
writing information to an optical information recording medium by using the write signal,
wherein Tfmax denotes an output interval of a first write data signal among write data signals corresponding to a write permission
signal immediately subsequent to a pause interval of the write signal in a case in which the pause interval of the write signal
is a maximum,
Tfmin denotes an output interval of a first write data signal among the write data signals corresponding to a write permission
signal immediately subsequent to the pause interval of the write signal in a case in which the pause interval of the write
signal is a minimum,
T denotes a reference period, and
wherein the write signal is outputted so that Tfmax, Tfmin and T satisfy the following formula (1):
Tfmax−Tfmin≧0.01T, and Formula (1):
wherein Tfmax and Tfmin actively write information to the recording medium by forming a recording pit thereon.
