Abstract
A method of recording information comprising the steps of: irradiating a light-absorbing material (which is arranged in contact with a polymer blend which changes in its phase condition between a homogeneous state and a phase-separated state in response to change of its temperature across its cloud point) with a laser beam for causing the light-absorbing material to absorb energy of the beam and generate a heat, whereby elevating the temperature of the polymer blend near the light-absorbing material to a temperature of above the cloud point to change the phase condition of the polymer blend into a state which is different from the original state before the elevation of the temperature; and rapidly cooling the polymer blend to fix the polymer blend in its changed phase condition. An information recording medium preferably employed for the method is also disclosed.
