Abstract

An optical information recording medium provides a high reflectance of a laser beam and thus enables an accurate tracking servo. The optical information recording medium, for recording optically readable signals thereon through the use of a recording laser beam, includes a light transmitting substrate, a tracking groove formed on a surface of the light transmitting substrate, a land formed between two neighboring tracks of the tracking groove, a recording layer formed on a surface of the light transmitting substrate on which the tracking groove and the land are provided, and a reflective layer formed on the recording layer for reflecting the recording laser beam. A top width D of the land is arranged to be within the range of about 0.30≦D≦0.45 &mgr;m.
