Abstract

A write once optical recording medium has an inorganic recording film which includes an oxide film having germanium oxide (GeO) as a principal component, and a metal film adjacent to the oxide film, the metal film having a titanium/silicon alloy (TiSi) as a principal component. According to this arrangement, it is possible to construct an inexpensive write once optical recording medium with large strength capable of high density recording by using a short wavelength light source and an optical system with a high numerical aperture having excellent characteristics.
