A phase change optical recording medium includes at least a supporting substrate and a recording layer essentially consisting of AgInSbTe alloy compositions implementing recording and readout steps utilizing changes in reflectivity. The recording medium is characterized by the relation v0≧0.7 vWH, where the critical relative velocity of phase change, v0, defined by the value of v, at which the differential coefficient, −dR(v)/dv, reaches a maximum, when the recording medium moves against an optical unit during the recording steps at a relative velocity, v, ranging from minimum and maximum relative velocities warranted for the recording medium, vWL and vWH, respectively. When the reflectivity is measured with varying erase power PE at the linear relative scanning velocity v0, the reflectivity of the recording layer as a function of erase power, R(PE), preferably has a minimum. The recording layer has an activation energy of deterioration equal to or greater than 1.6 eV, which is obtained by measuring asymmetry, A, and calculating according to the equations, k=dt/dA, and k=k0×exp(Ea/kBT). The recording medium is also characterized by activation energy of displacement of the boundary, ranging from 1.0 eV to 2.4 eV, which is obtained from the rate of decrease in the area, S, of the amorphous regions as recorded marks with time according to Arrhenius' equation.

A method of recording information using a laser on a multilayer optical disk having a plurality of recording layers is provided. The plurality of recording layers include a first recording layer and a second recording layer adjacent the first recording layer. The first recording layer is provided with a first test writing area to be used for calibration of write power, and the second recording layer is provided with a second test writing area to be used for calibration of write power. The disk is arranged so that a first region of the first test writing area is superposed with a second region of the second test writing area when considered in the direction in which the laser is arranged to irradiate. The method comprises, if the second region of the second test writing area is unrecorded, recording data in the second region of the second test writing area, thereby converting the second region of the second test writing area into a recorded state; and once the second region of the second test writing area has been converted into a recorded state, performing test writing in the first region of the first test writing area.
