According to one embodiment, a first recording film, interlayer, and
second recording film are formed on a transparent resin substrate having
a groove and land. A recording mark is formed by irradiation with a
short-wavelength laser beam. The light reflectance of the recording mark
formed by irradiation with the short-wavelength laser beam is higher than
a light reflectance before irradiation with the short-wavelength laser
beam. The first recording film has a first read-only recording mark
recorded by a three-dimensional pit. The second recording film has a
second read-only recording mark recorded by a three-dimensional pit. The
reflectances of the pits of the first and second recording layers are
4.2% to 8.4%, or the pit width of the second recording film is larger
than that of the first recording layer.
