Abstract

See full text

An optical recording medium is provided which achieves a higher recording capacity. This optical recording medium includes a base formed of thermoplastic resin which has a thickness ranging from between approximately 0.3 to 1.2 mm, a guide groove formed on the base, an information recording layer formed at least of a reflective film and an organic dye recording layer provided on the guide groove, and a light transmissive layer having a thickness ranging from between approximately 3 to 177 .mu.m. In this optical recording medium, the unevenness .DELTA.t of the thickness of the light transmissive layer is set within the range of: .DELTA.t.ltoreq..+-.5.26(.lambda./N.A..sup.4)(.mu.m) wherein N.A. represents a numerical aperture of an optical head device of the optical disk recording and/or reproducing apparatus and .lambda. represents the wavelength of laser light utilized by the optical disk recording and/or reproducing apparatus.
