Abstract

An optical recording medium capable of recording, reproducing and erasing information wherein a pulsating phenomenon where dielectric layer provided on the top and bottom of the recording thing film layer are thermally expanded, and contracted through the recording and erasing so that an inferior phenomenon of moving the recording thin film layer along the guiding groove in the disc rotating direction is considerably restrained, whereby, uneven thickness in the recording thin film layer is removed, thus making it possible to prevent the signal quality from being deteriorated, and the repeating characteristics of the recording and erasing operations are exceptionally improved.
