Abstract

See full text

An optical reproducing method for an optical medium including a disk-like substrate having a groove structure along tracks divided into a plurality of units. Each of the units includes a dropout portion of the groove structure along the track which is a non-groove portion. The groove structure is wobbled in a fixed cycle in a radial direction. When the wobble is formed in the circumferential direction of the track, the dropout portion is formed so that a phase of the wobble is continued with a phase of the wobble of the groove structure within another unit adjacent to the dropout portion. The method includes irradiating an optical spot on the optical medium, detecting a reflected beam from the optical medium, and reproducing information on the optical medium by using a signal obtained by the reflected beam.
