Abstract

The present invention provides a rewritable optical disc which is compatible with a DVD-ROM reproduction apparatus and employs the groove recording method. The optical disc has a recording layer having a land 10 and a groove 9 onto/from which an information signal is recorded and reproduced with a light of a predetermined wavelength, wherein if it is assumed that the groove has a bottom width W1 and an opening width W2, then a groove average width X [.mu.m] can be expressed as follows: EQU X=(W1+W2)/2, and if the groove has a depth Y nm, then X and Y satisfy the following relationships: EQU Y.gtoreq.4736X.sup.2 -4764X+1239 EQU X.ltoreq.-0.000127Y.sup.2 +0.018624Y-0.075043 EQU X>0.40.
