Abstract

An optical recording medium for recording, reading, erasing information with beams has a layer composed of a lower thermal conductivity material and a heat sink layer of a higher thermal conductivity material sequentially laminated on a reading and reading layer composed of at lest a recording thin film and a reading thin film. Therefore, an optical recording medium can be realized where the range of the recording power to be tolerated even in a case of a disk smaller in track pitch and the movement of the central position of the temperature distribution is small, namely, an optical recording medium where the recording power margin is large and the high density recording operation can be effected.
