Furthermore, as shown in the optical memory of FIG. 3, the dye recording layer 1 can be sealed. In this way, the recording layer 1 is isolated from the outside air and can be protected from dust, scratches, and contact with harmful gases, thereby significantly improving storage stability. The transparent substrate 2 has the function of a substrate and a protective package, so the irradiation beam 3 is large enough to remove some dust or scratches on the surface of the transparent substrate 2 (when the thickness of the substrate is 1 mm, the irradiation beam diameter is (approximately 1 mm), so there is no adverse effect. That is, the structure shown in FIG. 3 is a two-piece sandwich structure of the structure shown in FIG. 1, and is highly practical because both sides can be used as recording layers.
