1. A recording medium comprising:
a recording layer that includes a heat-sensitive color-developing composition and a photothermal conversion material, the photothermal conversion material absorbing a wavelength in an infrared region and generating heat; and
an optical thin film that is provided on one surface of the recording layer, the optical thin film reflecting the wavelength in the infrared region and transmitting a wavelength in a visible region,
wherein the optical thin film includes two kinds of inorganic films that are alternately laminated, the two kinds of inorganic films having respective refractive indices different from each other in a wavelength range from the infrared region to the visible region.
