A system and method for encoding read-only information comprises a storage medium, a plurality of position marks disposed on the storage medium, and a light beam directed towards the position marks to produce a reflection of the light beam from the position marks. The position marks are configured such that the reflection of the light beam is not responsive to a plane of polarization of the light beam. In one embodiment, the position marks comprise rows of substantially circular pits. The dimensions of the substantially circular pits depend on a wavelength of the light beam and a numerical aperture of a lens that directs the light beam towards the position marks.
