Abstract

An optical recording medium comprises a transparent substrate, a first dielectric layer, a recording layer, a second dielectric layer and a reflecting layer stacked in this order, wherein said first dielectric layer has a thermal conduction coefficient of 0.03 to 0.1 .mu.W/K, said second dielectric layer has a thermal conduction coefficient of 0.01 to 0.03 .mu.W/K, and said reflecting layer has a thermal conduction coefficient of 4 to 12 .mu.W/K, where the thermal conduction coefficient is defined as a product of the thermal conductivity and the layer thickness. The first and/or second dielectric layers may be of an amorphous metal nitride comprising Al and Si and optionally C and having bonds with hydrogen.
