Abstract: A write-once optical recording medium includes an optical recording layer and a reaction layer attached to the optical recording layer, wherein the optical recording layer contains a phase change material and the reaction layer contains a dopant. Once the optical recording layer is first written in a predetermined manner, the dopant of the reaction layer diffuses into the phase change material of the optical recording layer, the resulting written optical recording layer is of amorphous phase and has a crystallization rate significantly lower than that of the un-written optical recording layer so that the written optical recording layer cannot be re-written. A light laser can be used to write the write-once optical recording medium of the present invention.
