Abstract
A rotation of an optical disk can be controlled with high accuracy to thereby reduce a rotational jitter, whereby a buffer area between sectors can be reduced to increase a storage capacity of the optical disk. In an optical disk in which a track (3) defined by a groove (2) is formed on a rotational base plate and a recording pit (4) corresponding to information is formed on the track (3) in a multi-channel fashion, the groove (2) is formed as a pattern which is fine wobbled in the optical disk radiation direction shown by an arrow (r) and address information (9) of the track (3) is provided in the groove (2).
