Abstract

An optical recording medium is arranged such that respective information recorded on lands and grooves are reproducible by either of a light beam of a first wavelength λ1 and a light beam of a second wavelength λ2 which is shorter than the first wavelength λ1. The groove depth d of the optical recording medium is such that tracking error signals of not less than a predetermined level can be ensured for respective wavelengths λ1 and λ2 without generating distortion in waveform, irrespectively of differences in receiving light sensitivity of a photodetector provided in a optical pickup devices for use in recording and reproducing information on and from such optical recording medium.
