To provide an optical information recording medium capable of recording and reproducing highly efficient and high quality signals with high density in optical information recording and reproduction using a near field effect of light and to provide an optical information recording and reproducing device using the same.

In the optical information recording medium wherein a dielectric layer and a metal layer are layered in this order from a side which is irradiated with incident light from a light source and which has a substrate having a fine structure layer formed to be shorter than the wavelength of the incident light, recording and reproduction of information is performed by making the fine structure layer be irradiated with near field light by using a probe provided with a fine aperture shorter than the wavelength of the incident light.
