Zusammenfassung:The object of this invention is to provide a rewritable phase change type optical recording medium and an optical recording apparatus that are good in erasure characteristics and small in jitter even in high linear velocity high density recording, are unlikely to cause cross erasure even in the use of a substrate with a narrow track width, are unlikely to be deteriorated in signal quality even after repeated irradiation with a laser beam, and are good also in storage durability.The object of this invention can be achieved by a phase change type optical recording medium, characterized in that at least a first dielectric layer, a first boundary layer, a recording layer, a second boundary layer, an absorption correction layer and a reflection layer are provided in this order on a substrate, that the recording layer has a specific composition, that the first and second boundary layers are respectively mainly composed of at least one selected from carbon, carbides, oxides and nitrides, and that the absorption correction layer is 1.0 to 4.0 in refractive index and 0.5 to 3.0 in attenuation coefficient.
