Optical information recording method, optical information recording apparatus and optical information recording medium

An optical information recording apparatus for an optical information recording medium, comprising:

• a fixing beam application unit configured to apply 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/cm2) that satisfies the condition H<(S+T)<2H (where S is an integrated exposure level (mJ/cm2), 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/cm2) required to fix the interference image).

An optical information recording medium, comprising:

• an interference image recorded by means of a method for recording optical information on an optical information recording,
• wherein the method comprises:
• applying 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/cm2) that satisfies the condition H<(S+T)<2H (where S is an integrated exposure level (mJ/cm2), 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/cm2) required to fix the interference image).
