Abstract
An ablative recording medium comprises a substrate coated with a light reflecting layer which in turn is coated with a light absorptive layer of 6,6'-diethoxythioindigo. During recording, portions of the light absorptive layer are ablated by a modulated focussed light beam, thereby exposing portions of the reflecting layer. Video information is recorded as a reflective-antireflective pattern.
