| 1. An optical recording media, comprising:
a disc substrate; and
two or more recording layers arranged apart from each other with a dielectric layer interposed therebetween to cause optical
change simultaneously by irradiation with light,
wherein a first recording layer positioned nearest the disc substrate has a higher optical change temperature and a higher
extinction coefficient compared with those of a second recording layer and any later recording layer,
wherein the first recording layer and the second recording layer are arranged apart from each other by a distance of 5 nm
or more and 100 nm or less.
