A transparent substrate of an optical memory is produced by injection molding using a stamper. Grooves and lands are alternately arranged on the optical memory, to facilitate the tracking of light converged on the optical memory. The groove width is set in the range of 0.3 µm to 0.4 µm and the groove depth is set in the range of 80 nm to 100 nm. A decrease in the width of a land is restrained to a maximum of 0.2 µm at each edge. With such dimensions, even when the track pitch is set to about 1.4 µm, it is possible to obtain a track crossing signal with sufficient intensity for performing an access operation to a target track. Moreover, since the dimensions bring about an improved reflectance at a land, the optical memory achieves an improved C/N ratio and recording density.
