An optical recording medium comprises a transparent lower disk and an
upper disk secured together by a transparent intermediate member. On one
side of the lower disk, groove tracks of width W.sub.G0 and land tracks
of width W.sub.L0 are formed. All tracks of the lower disk are coated
with a recording film on which a laser beam is incident from below and a
reflecting film on the recording film for partially reflecting the laser
beam. The upper disk is formed with land tracks of width W.sub.L1 and
groove tracks of width W.sub.G1 for receiving light through the
corresponding groove and land tracks of the lower disk. All tracks of the
upper disk are also coated with laminated recording and reflecting films.
The ratio W.sub.G1/W.sub.L1 of the upper disk is greater than unity and
is equal to or greater than the ratio W.sub.G0/W.sub.L0 of the lower disk
so that the carrier-to-noise ratios of the two disks are substantially
equal to each other.
