- the light L0 passes through the substrate 71, the first recording layer 751, and the separation layer 731, and enters the second recording layer 752.
- Light 0 is slightly absorbed by the variable absorption film 791 when passing through the first recording layer 751, but since the light 0 is not condensed on the surface of the variable absorption film 791, the energy density of heat generation is Low, the variable absorption membrane 791 is kept at almost room temperature. Therefore, the light L0 can efficiently pass through the first recording layer 751, and further pass through the separation layer 731, and reach the second recording layer 752.
- variable absorption film 792 Since the variable absorption film 792 has a low absorptance to the light L 0 having the wavelength ⁇ 0, it absorbs a part of the incident light L 0 and generates heat. Since the light L0 is condensed by the variable absorption film 792, the heat High energy density.

- variable absorbing films 791 and 792 when the variable absorbing films 791 and 792 are formed using such materials, the variable absorbing films 791 and 792 have low absorption at room temperature at the start of light spot irradiation. Depending on the rate, a part of the incident light is absorbed, and the temperature rises with the absorption of the light. This rise in temperature increases the absorptance, and further light absorption raises the temperature. As described above, the light absorption increasing portion 741 is formed in the area where the light spots of the variable absorption films 791 and 792 are irradiated, and the heat generated in this area is diffused to the recording film to perform recording.

However, at 200 ° C, the absorption increases to about 60%. As a result, similarly to the first embodiment, the light absorption increasing portion 741 is formed in the area of the variable absorption film 793, 794 irradiated with the light spot, and heat is generated in this area.
- variable absorption films 793 and 794 information is recorded by raising the temperature of the variable absorption films 793 and 794 to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of As 2 S 3 (300 ° C.) and rapidly cooling to form an amorphous phase portion. This amorphous phase portion becomes a recording mark.
- Information is erased by raising the temperature of the variable absorption films 793 and 794 to the crystallization temperature of As 2 S 3 , removing the temperature, and transforming the amorphous phase into a crystalline phase.
- Reproduction of information recorded on the variable absorption films 793 and 794 is performed in the same manner as in the first embodiment by using light having such a power that a recording mark is not formed on the variable absorption films 793 and 794.
- the multilayer optical recording medium of the present embodiment Even in this case, the energy required for recording can be secured, and a large capacity can be realized. Further, since the light absorption increasing portion 741 has a large extinction coefficient, the reflectance increases, and a sufficient reproduction light amount can be obtained.
- the present invention is not limited to this. This can be realized by appropriately selecting the materials of 793 and 794.
- T e 0 2 - C a O- W_ ⁇ variable absorption film 7 with a mixed glass of 3 9 3, 7 9 4 can be formed.
- super-resolution reproduction can be performed similarly to the optical recording medium of the first embodiment.
- the case where the number of recording layers is three has been described, but it is sufficient that at least two recording layers are included, and further multi-layering is possible.
- the optical recording medium the optical information processing apparatus, and the optical recording / reproducing method of the present invention, even if it is a multilayer optical recording medium including a plurality of recording layers, energy required for recording can be ensured, and Can be realized. Furthermore, when reproducing the recorded information, a sufficient amount of reproduced light can be obtained.
