It is an object of the present invention to provide an optical recording disc which can record data constituted by a recording mark train including recording marks and blank regions neighboring recording marks therein and reproduce the data therefrom even in the case where the lengths of a recording mark and a blank region between neighboring recording marks are shorter than the resolution limit, thereby markedly increasing the storage capacity thereof and can improve a C/N ratio of a reproduced signal and the reproduction durability thereof. An optical recording disc includes a substrate 2 , a reflective layer 3 , a third dielectric layer 4 , a light absorption layer 5 , a second dielectric layer 6 , a decomposition reaction layer 7 containing platinum oxide as a primary component, a first dielectric layer 8 and a light transmission layer 9 and is constituted so that when the optical recording disc is irradiated with a laser beam 20 from the side of the light transmission layer 9 , the platinum oxide contained in the decomposition reaction layer 7 as a primary component is decomposed into platinum and oxygen so that a bubble pit is formed in the decomposition reaction layer 7 by thus generated oxygen gas and fine particles of the noble metal penetrate into the bubble pit, thereby forming a recording mark in the decomposition reaction layer 7.
