OPTICAL INFORMATION-RECORDING MEDIUM AND INFORMATION-RECORDING METHOD

摘要

There is provided an optical information-recording medium, comprising a recording layer capable of recording of information by irradiation of a laser beam having a wavelength of 440 nm or less on or above a substrate, the recording layer comprising a dye having two or more independent dye moieties in the molecule that are bound to each other in a manner other than by forming a conjugated bond to the dye moieties, and a method of recording information, comprising recording information by irradiating a laser beam having a wavelength of 440 nm or less on or above the optical information-recording medium according to the present invention described above.
