Abstract
A method of recording information in an optical recording medium, which comprises two steps. In the first step, a coherent light pulse train which resonates with a transition between the first and third energy levels and coherent light which resonates with a transition between the second and third energy levels or a transition between the first and second energy levels are applied to the optical recording medium, thereby causing the light pulse train to pass through the optical recording medium. In the second step, an intensity change of an external field is supplied to the medium, while the light pulse train is passing through the optical recording medium, thereby fixing sites in a thickness direction of the medium, at which the absorption spectrum of the medium is changed.
