A read-after-write system for optical recording systems includes a mirror (120) used to direct read beams from a light source (105) to a desired position on a recording medium (145) relative to write beams impinging on the recording medium (145).

Conflicts may be further detected for read-after-write dependencies.

Each defect matrix in the sequence is read with a read element in the read-after-write head.
