It is an object to provide an optical information recording medium including a
substrate (1) and an optical information layer in one of the layers the
substrate (1) and having a light incident surface on at least one of the
surfaces of the substrate side and the opposite side. The optical information recording
medium also includes a magnetic clamp layer (2) at a position not disturbing
the incident light into the optical information layer from the light incident surface
and covering optical information layer partially or entirely. The magnetic clamp
layer (2) is pulled by and fixed to the magnet of an optical information
recording/reproduction apparatus. The pulling force between the clamp layer and
the magnet is preferably in a range from 0.1 N to 5 N. Thus, it is possible to
provide an optical information recording medium and an optical information recording/reproduction
apparatus in which recording/reproduction can be performed up to the vicinity of
the center of the substrate (1).
