Abstract
Abstract An optical information recording medium configured to prevent signal reproduction due to intermodulation as well as to ensure a compatibility to players that involve read lights with different wavelengths and improved data transfer rate with higher information recording density. The optical information recording medium comprises a first recording layer for reflecting first incident light of a first wavelength to change an optical characteristic thereof and passing second incident light of a second wavelength different from the first wavelength, and a second recording layer for reflecting the second incident light to change an optical characteristic thereof, the first recording layer and the second recording layer are laminated in the order of the first and second recording layers from a side where the first incident light enters.
