Information recording method
An optical recording method for an optical medium including a disk-like substrate, a spiral or concentric-shaped groove structure along a track formed on the disk-like substrate, the groove structure being wobbled in a radial direction of the optical medium, the track being divided into a plurality of units in the track direction by at least one radial boundary line, at least two adjacent units in the radical direction of the medium comprise one zone, the optical medium including a plurality of zones, and the groove structure included in the adjacent units within at least one zone having substantially a same number of wobbling. The method includes providing the optical medium, and recording information on the optical medium by irradiating an optical spot thereon.
1. An optical recording method for an optical medium including a disk-like substrate, a spiral or concentric-shaped groove structure along a track formed on the disk-like substrate, the groove structure being wobbled in a radial direction of the optical medium, the track being divided into a plurality of units in the track direction by at least one radial boundary line, at least two adjacent units in the radial direction of the medium comprise one zone, the optical medium including a plurality of zones, and the groove structure included in the adjacent units within at least one zone having substantially a same number of wobbling, the method comprising the steps of:
providing the optical medium; and
recording information on the optical medium by irradiating an optical spot thereon.
2. An optical recording method for an optical medium including a disk-like substrate, a spiral or concentric-shaped groove structure along a track formed on the disk-like substrate, the groove structure being wobbled in a radial direction of the optical medium, the track being divided into a plurality of units in the track direction by at least one radial boundary line, at least two adjacent units in the radial direction of the optical medium comprise one zone, the optical medium including a plurality of zones, and the groove structure having substantially the same wobbling cycle in the units which are adjacent to each other in the radial direction of the optical medium within at least one zone, and having a same number of wobbling, the method comprising the steps of:
providing the optical medium; and
recording information on the optical medium by irradiating an optical spot thereon.
