Abstract

An information recording medium has a recording portion where three-dimensional information can be recorded. The recording portion includes at least one particle-containing layer (recording layer or a recording auxiliary layer) containing particles absorbing at least a part of light having a predetermined wavelength and substantially transparent to a recording light and a reproducing light having a wavelength longer than the predetermined wavelength and a particle holding material substantially transparent to the recording and reproducing lights. The mean particle size of the particles is preferably shorter than the wavelengths of the recording and reproducing lights.
