There are provided an optical disc (1) and an optical recording apparatus to form a tracking groove onto an optically recordable disc. This apparatus comprises a recording beam generator (2) to generate a recording beam such as a laser beam having a predetermined spot size so as to form a pattern of a predetermined width onto the disc; a light deflector (6) arranged on an optical path of the recording beam generator; and a driver (12) for driving the light deflector (6), for reciprocatingly moving the recording beam in a radial direction of the disc (1) at a high frequency, and for multi-exposing the disc (1) by the recording beam due to the movement of the recording beam in the radial direction, thereby a groove having a width wider than the pattern of the predetermined width is formed. With this apparatus, both of the discrete information pattern and a groove are formed by using a single recording beam. Namely, both of the pits and a wide groove can be formed by using a single recording spot. |
