Abstract

An optical storage medium comprising a recording layer containing organic dye molecules which allows recording due to change in the molecular structure or molecular aggregate structure induced by irradiation with light, and a stable controlling layer formed on the recording layer, which controlling layer is stable against the irradiation by the lights for recording or reading out. A multi-frequency optical storage medium comprises a plurality of a combination of the recording layers and the controlling layer as a separating layer.
