Write once optical recording medium

摘要

An object of the present invention is to provide a phase-change optical recording medium of an amorphous recording mark type. The optical recording medium is a write once type medium capable of decreasing the degradation of an information signal which has been already recorded. The recording layer of the optical recording medium according to the present invention includes a first recording layer and a second recording layer. The first recording layer comprises a first composition which can be changed into another composition more stable in an amorphous state by combining with a component included in the second recording layer.
