A multi-rewritable optical recording medium includes a surface plasmon super-resolution layer. The surface plasmon super-resolution layer is a three-layer structure including a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer, and a metal layer sandwiched between said first dielectric layer and said second dielectric layer. The metal layer with a certain thickness performs the surface plasmon effect when a laser beam with a suitable wavelength irradiates thereon. By the design and arrangement of the surface plasmon super-resolution layer, the small size of information-carrying pits and the recording marks in the range of around 100 nm is accessible. As a result, the super-resolution without the limit of the optical diffraction is achieved.
