Abstract

An optical tape including an optical recording layer for permitting information to be optically recorded thereon and a light-reflective magnetic layer; the light-reflective magnetic layer which reflects light projected onto the recording layer, also permits magnetic recording or magneto-optical recording to be performed thereon, thereby increasing a storage capacity of the optical tape remarkably; further, the optical tape is provided with a layer to form guiding grooves for tracking control, which layer to form guiding grooves is made up of ultraviolet-hardening resin, photo-resist, or a photochromic material.
