The present invention relates to an optical recording medium having a
plurality of recording layers having different uses. The optical
recording medium includes a first light transmitting layer (32); a layer
(31) composed of an organic dye for recording and reading data by an
optical beam of a first wavelength incident through the first light
transmitting layer (32) and transmitting an optical beam of a second
wavelength incident through the first light transmitting layer (32); a
second light transmitting layer (34) for transmitting the optical beam of
the second wavelength incident through the layer (31) composed of the
organic dye; and a reflecting layer (331) for reflecting the optical beam
of the second wavelength incident through the second light transmitting
layer (34).
