Abstract
A recording element adapted for real-time writing and reading with light of a single given wave-length utilizes a recording stratum, including a heat-deformable dye-binder layer, overlying a reflective support and is characterized by the dye-binder layer having optical constants such that its reflectance versus thickness variation curve has a first reflectance minimum having a high depth of modulation and the recording stratum having a nominal thickness sufficiently greater than the thickness corresponding to the first reflectance minimum to effect reflection of a significant portion of light of such given wavelength.
