<p>A description is given of a phase-change optical data storage medium (20) having a recording stack (2) with a recording layer (6) and a metal reflective layer (3) comprising at least one transparent layer (4, 8) of the material indium tin oxide (ITO). Use of an ITO layer (4, 8) in the recording stack (2) improves the cooling behavior of the recording layer (6) combined with good optical contrast. Thus, higher possible data rates are achieved.</p> |
