摘要:
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling at least one readout parameter of a magneto-optical domain expansion recording medium. An average detected runlength of the reading signal is monitored, and an error signal is generated on the basis of a comparison of the monitoring result with the predetermined average runlength that has been set during the encoding step. The at least one readout parameter is then controlled by means of the generated error signal. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method, apparatus and record carrier wherein a runlength constraint is applied to at least one of the following quantities: mark regions and space regions in said storage layer, said runlength constraint being selected to keep an accumulated runlength deviation from a predetermined average runlength within a predetermined range. The proposed runlength property and control scheme provide the advantage that all detected runlengths contribute to the error signal to make the response must faster and to reduce readout errors.

Accordingly the optimum reproduction power and recording power are set, to thereby record and reproduce signals with high accuracy.

A high-speed large capacity file system is built in which the track density is improved by applying a highly precise magnetic domain width control technique to a light pulse-irradiated magnetic field modulation magnetooptical disk device which can be overwritten and is suitable for the improvement of the bit density. For the purpose, bipolar magnetic domains having edges of positive and negative polarities with respect to the direction of movement of a light spot are formed and the recording condition is optimized. Normal recording is carried out on the basis of the result of the optimization of the recording condition.

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for writing data to a storage layer of a magneto-optical recording medium using a laser beam of a predetermined power level (Pw) and a magnetic field modulated to at least two predetermined field levels (+Hw; -Hw) in accordance with said writing data. The predetermined power level and/or the at least two predetermined field levels are adjusted in dependence on a pattern of previously recorded data so as to compensate for stray field variations caused by run lengths of the previously recorded data pattern. Read-out jitter and errors can be reduced thereby.
摘要:
A magnetic domain of a predetermined length is formed on a magneto-optical recording medium (1) with the phase difference (δ) altered between the rise of a laser drive signal (LD) to generate a pulsed laser beam and the fall of a magnetic head drive signal (MD) to generate a magnetic field. A phase difference optimization circuit (13) detects an optimum phase difference (δop) corresponding to the lowest error rate from the error rate of a reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the formed magnetic domain. A magnetic head drive signal (MD) is newly generated to produce a magnetic field modulated according to a record signal based on the detected optimum phase difference (δop). According to the generated magnetic head drive signal (MD) and the first laser drive signal (LD), a magnetic field is applied to the magneto-optical recording medium (1), and a pulsed laser is directed onto the magneto-optical recording medium (1) to record a signal.

A magneto-optical recording medium 11 is irradiated with a reproducing light beam 13 so that only a minute magnetic domain 313b, which is subjected to recording in a recording layer 18 and which is smaller than 1/2 of a spot radius of the recording light beam 13, is selected by a gate layer 17 and transferred to a magnetic domain-magnifying and reproducing layer 3. The magnetic domain transferred to the magnetic domain-magnifying and reproducing layer 3 is magnified by using a magnifying and reproducing magnetic field 411 of an alternating magnetic field. A large reproduction signal is obtained from the magnified magnetic domain 419, and the minute magnetic domain can be subjected to reproduction at a high resolving power and at a high S/N ratio. The magnified magnetic domain 419 is reduced by using a reducing reproducing magnetic field 415 of the alternating magnetic field. The gate layer 17 has a thickness which is not less than a thickness of a magnetic wall of the magnetic domain. A non-magnetic layer may be used in place of the gate layer 17.

On a surface of a transparent substrate 1 having a preformat pattern 2 formed thereon are laminated a first recording layer 4 in which a recording state exists in one different magnetic field region of an applied external magnetic field and a second recording layer 6 in which two recording states exist in magnetic field regions different from that for the first recording layer. As required, dielectric layers 3, 5 and 7, a reflecting layer 8 and a protection layer 9 can be laminated. The 4-valued recording of information becomes possible by assigning information signals "1", "0", "3" and "2" to H 0 , H 1 , H 2 and H 3 , respectively.
