摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium has a recording layer whereon information is magneto-optically recorded. A readout layer is provided on the recording layer. The readout layer has a compensating temperature that is located between room temperature and the Curie temperature. In the readout layer, upon an application of a light beam, the in-plane magnetization occurs at room temperature and a transition from the in-plane magnetization to vertical magnetization occurs as the temperature of the irradiated area of the readout layer rises above a predetermined temperature. By employing this magneto-optical recording medium, with an application of a light beam that is intensity modulated into two levels, only a spot having a temperature not less than a predetermined temperature is involved in the reproduction; therefore, a recorded bit with a size smaller than the diameter of the light beam can be reproduced, thereby greatly increasing the recording density. Further, the level of the reproduced signals is increased, and crosstalk from the adjoining tracks is reduced; thus, information recording and overwriting can be conducted more easily.
摘要:
A surface of a magneto-optical recording medium of the present invention is textured with fine and physical protrusions and recessions. The shapes of physical protrusions and recessions vary at each radial locations on the medium such that, for example, rough protrusions and recessions are formed in inner parts of the recording medium and fine protrusions and recessions are formed in outer parts thereof. Therefore, floating force given to a floating head from the medium being rotated based on the constant angular velocity method through an air layer in the outer parts equals floating force in the inner parts. Consequently, since the floating height of the floating head becomes constant irrespective of radial locations on the medium, information can be recorded under constant recording conditions, permitting the accuracy of the recording to improve. Regarding a method for processing the surface of a magneto-optical recording medium relating to the present invention, for example, a texture tape whose roughness is large is used in inner parts of the medium while a texture tape whose roughness is small is used in outer parts thereof. As a result, a magneto-optical recording medium having the above characteristics is produced.
