Abstract

An optical information recording medium in which pre-pits longer than the diameter of a reproducing radiation spot and pre-pits shorter than the diameter of the reproducing radiation spot coexist, the width W of the pre-pit longer than the diameter of the reproducing radiation spot being formed with a value satisfying a relation of .PHI./4<W<.PHI./3, wherein .PHI. is the diameter of the reproducing radiation spot and a method of fabricating the optical information recording medium comprising setting a power of a radiation beam when a pre-pit shorter than the diameter of the reproducing radiation spot among a plurality of pre-pits to be formed for each sector is cut to a predetermined optimum value, setting a power of the radiation beam when the pre-pit longer than the diameter of the reproducing radiation spot is cut to a predetermined value smaller than the predetermined optimum value of the radiation beam power when the pre-pit shorter than the diameter of the reproducing radiation spot is cut, and performing the cutting of pre-pits while combining the radiation beam power at the predetermined optimum value when the pre-pit shorter than the diameter of the reproducing radiation s…
