FIG. 1 is a sectional view of an optical recording medium, in which a recording layer 4 is arranged on a transparent substrate 1 via a first undercoat layer 2 and a second undercoat layer 3, and a recording/reading light 5 is provided. is incident from the substrate 1 side. Guide grooves 6 for recording and reproducing with high positional accuracy are formed in the second undercoat layer 3 in the following manner. That is, a pre-grooved stamper (not shown) is coated with a second subbing layer material, while the substrate 1 is coated with a first subbing layer material, and the first subbing material and the second subbing layer material are respectively coated. It is formed by adhering the second undercoat layer to the stamper and then peeling off the second undercoat layer and the stamper. Recording layer 4 formed on this
can be deposited along the groove shape, i.e. vapor deposition,
It is preferable to form the film by a vacuum film forming method such as sputtering, ion beam deposition, or ion plating. Information is recorded on the recording layer either in the convex portions 6a or in the concave portions 6b when viewed from the light incident side.

The inventors of the present invention produced a large number of optical recording media having such a configuration and performed recording/reproduction, and experienced the problem that the magnitude of the read signal varied. When we investigated this problem, we found that the cause was as follows.

Figure 2 shows a first undercoat layer with a refractive index of 1.5 on a substrate with a refractive index of 1.5, a second undercoat layer with a refractive index of 1.7 on top of that, and a complex refractive index of 2.3-i0.8
The reflectance of a medium with a recording layer of 70 nm depends on the thickness of the second undercoat layer. The wavelength of light incident from the substrate is 830 nm, R indicates the reflectance where the recording layer is present, and R' indicates the reflectance where the pits are formed. It can be seen that the signal (=R-R') decreases for every odd number multiple of 122 nm, which is λ/4n (λ is the wavelength of light, and n is the refractive index of the second undercoat layer). Also, it can be seen that the maximum signal is obtained at every integer multiple of 244 nm, which is λ/2n.
