'''Optimized Power Control''', also known as '''Optimum Power Calibration''', abbreviated '''OPC''', is a function of [[optical disc recorder]]s.

Optimized Power Control, shortened as OPC, is a function of a CD or DVD writer. It checks the proper writing power and reflection of the media in use, calculating the optimum laser power and adjusting it for writing the particular session. More sophisticated is Active OPC (Active Optimized Power Control). Active OPC monitors writing power and reflection of the media in use, calculating the optimum laser power and adjusting it in real-time. Which should in theory result in better quality burning.
