1. A rewritable optical recording medium with an ZnO near-field optical interaction layer for discs comprising:
a) a transparent substrate;
b) a first transparent dielectric thin film layer formed on the transparent substrate;
c) a zinc-oxide nano-structured thin film layer formed on the first transparent dielectric thin film layer and selectively
causing a localized near-field optical effect;
d) a second transparent dielectric thin film layer formed on the zinc-oxide nano-structured thin film layer;
e) a rewritable recording thin film layer formed on the second transparent dielectric thin film layer; and
f) a third transparent dielectric thin film layer formed on the rewritable recording thin film layer,
wherein the first transparent dielectric thin film layer and the zinc-oxide nano-structured thin film layer are located between
the transparent substrate and the rewritable recording thin film layer.
