Abstract

A writable optical disk with meandering guide grooves is so arranged that a ratio of "track pitch/meander amplitude" is not less than a certain value, for example 57, at least in an out-of-phase portion in which meander of the meandering guide grooves is out of phase on mutually adjacent tracks. Also, the track pitch in the out-of-phase portion is larger than that in an in-phase portion in which meander of the guide grooves is in phase on mutually adjacent tracks.
