To provide an excellent optical information recording method, optical
information recording medium and optical information recording apparatus
both of which use the method. The method generates no excessively-exposed
region, can sufficiently fix recorded information, and never reduce the
sensitivity of non-recorded regions. This is achieved because the method
applies a fixing beam onto at least a portion of an exposed region of a
recording layer of the optical information recording medium, the
recording layer recording information by holography, at an exposure level
T (mJ/cm.sup.2) that satisfies the condition H<(S+T)<2H (where S is
an integrated exposure level (mJ/cm.sup.2), which is the total of the
exposure level in each predetermined region that constitutes the exposed
region where an interference image has been recorded by irradiating the
recording layer with an information beam and a reference beam, and H is a
minimum fixing exposure level (mJ/cm.sup.2) required to fix the
interference image).
