Abstract

The present invention provides an optical disc capable of effectively reducing a reproduction signal jitter value and obtaining a wider record power margin assuring a reproduction limit jitter value to obtain a preferable recording/reproduction characteristic even after a number of times of recording repeated. The optical disc includes the following films successively formed on a substrate 2: a first dielectric film 3; a phase change recording film 4 whose phase is changed between a crystalline state and an amorphous state thereby to record an information signal; a second dielectric film 5; and a light reflection film formed on the phase change recording film 4 and constituted by an Al alloy containing Cu in a range from 0.1 to 1.0 atomic %.
