The S/N ratio is improved for recording data to grooves (2-1,2-2) of an
optical disc so that as much information as possible can be recorded at
the lowest possible frequency band. An optical disc using wobble patterns
to record different information has a first groove (2-1) having a first
wobble pattern (22) in which one wobble period has a sharp rising edge
and a gradual falling edge; and a second groove (2-2) having a second
wobble pattern (24) in which one wobble period has a gradual rising edge
and a sharp falling edge. Each of the first and the second wobble pattern
is represented by a first fundamental and a second harmonic of a Fourier
series. The polarity of the second harmonic, which is an even harmonic,
of the second wobble pattern is opposite that of the first wobble
pattern. A method for manufacturing this optical disc is also provided.
