Abstract
A recording layer contains a dye A having a complex index of refraction at 780 nm whose real part n is 1.8-2.8 and imaginary part k is up to 0.15 and forming a thin film exhibiting an absorption spectrum whose half-value width is up to 170 nm and a dye B having a complex index of refraction at 630 nm or 650 nm whose real part n is 1.8-2.8 and imaginary part k is up to 0.2. An optical recording medium capable of writing and reading in a conventional wavelength region of about 780 nm and a shorter wavelength region of about 630 to 680 nm is obtained.
