Optical disk, optical disk recording method and optical disk apparatus

摘要

A signal can be detected based on a level slice system and detection delay time can be reduced by setting the recording density of a header field (3, 8) in a linear direction lower (coarse) than that of a user data recording field (11). Further, a signal can be detected based on the level slice system and detection delay time can be reduced by using a mark position form having a large detection margin as an information recording system of the header field (3, 8). A readout error of a sector number due to a detection error is compensated for by recording address marks AM for attaining byte synchronization of the header field (3, 8) in both of a head portion and tail portion of information recorded in the header field (3, 8).
