Abstract
An optical disk having a recording format for a sampled servo system and including a servo field which is preformatted, including synchronous marks for synchronizing detection, and a data field for recording data on each track. The length of the synchronous mark is defined to render the detection of the synchronous pattern possible by making it easily distinguishable from the maximum inversion interval in the data even if the optical disk is of the constant-linear-velocity (CLV) type.
