Abstract

An optical record carrier with a substrate (1) having thereon a stack (3) of a reflection layer (4), an interference layer (5) and a phase-change recording-layer (6) in that order, the incident radiation being first incident on the reflection layer. Due to this structure of the stack a high contrast between the inscribed and uninscribed areas of the recording layer, and/or a high reflection, is obtained.
