Abstract

There is disclosed a double density recording method for a constant angular velocity type optical disk in which a data information area for recording data information and a servo information area for recording servo control information are provided in recording tracks of the optical disk, pairs of wobble pits for tracking servo control being provided in a staggered form in the servo control area in such a manner that the center axes of the recording tracks are put between the respective pairs of wobble pits, the method being adapted to carry out a subtractive operation of reflected light signals from the respective wobble pits to generate a tracking error signal to thereby conduct a tracking servo control, and to record data information under such a tracking servo control, wherein the respective pair of wobble pits are provided in such a manner that they are shared as wobble pits of adjacent recording tracks, and the wobble pits are provided in a staggered form in a radial direction of the optical disk.
