    Abstract: [Object] To enable stable void recording to be performed with lower power than in a case where a conventional void recording method that records hole marks (voids) in a bulk layer is adopted. [Solving Means] First laser light is irradiated onto an optical recording medium in which a plurality of resin layers are formed while the first laser light is focused on a boundary surface of the resin layers, to thus record hole marks onto the boundary surface. Since a recording sensitivity of the hole marks is enhanced at the boundary surface of the resin layers, by recording hole marks onto the boundary surface as described above, laser power requisite for recording can be suppressed as compared to the conventional art. As a result, it becomes unnecessary to use a special laser such as a short-pulse laser, and even if a CW laser (CW: Continuous Wave) is used, a recording speed does not need to be sacrificed.
