摘要:
There are provided an information recording medium which permits accurate tracking servo, and a method for recording and reproducing for an information recording medium which allows recording and reproducing of a signal at a favorable S/N by carrying out at least one of information recording and information reproduction while accurately performing tracking servo. A magneto-optic disk (10) includes a magnetic recording layer (16) for magnetically recording information. The magnetic recording layer is in advance magnetized for concentrically or spirally around the center of the disk in such a manner that magnetized regions (16A,16B) are disposed such that adjacent regions are magnetized in different directions and alternately arranged in the radial direction of the disk. Accordingly, tracking can be continuously performed and accurate tracking servo can also be performed.

An optical recording medium is disclosed in which the tracks include groove portions and land portions alternately arranged in the radial direction, wherein a plurality of prepits including the address information prepits of first and second prepits portions are meanderingly arranged with respect to center lines of the groove and land portions; and wherein prepits among the plurality of prepits are arranged at a predetermined interval such that specific prepits present in the meanderingly arranged prepits are always reproduced when an optical spot having a predetermined spot diameter irradiated on the optical recording medium scans the information recording area in the circumferential direction. An optical information processing apparatus for such a medium is also disclosed. The apparatus has means to irradiate a light spot having a predetermined spot diameter such that one specific prepit among the prepits is always reproduced.

A recording medium and an information storage apparatus having high formatting efficiency are provided. The recording medium and the information storage apparatus give IDs (102,104) for data to be stored. In one embodiment, one ID is provided for two data areas (103,105), and no two IDs are situated in line with each other on two adjacent tracks.

An optical information recording medium having a plurality of grooves (26) and a plurality of lands (28) alternately formed. Each groove (26) and each land (28) function as recording tracks. The medium includes a first header region (34) having a plurality of first phase pits (38) respectively formed on extensions of the plurality of lands (28), and a second header region (32) having a plurality of second phase pits (36) respectively formed on extensions of the plurality of grooves (26). Each groove (26) has an optical depth of about 3λ/8 where λ is the wavelength of a light beam to be used. Each first phase pit (38) has an optical depth smaller than that of each groove (26). Each second phase pit (36) has an optical depth substantially equal to that of each groove (26) . The first header region (34) and the second header region (32) are shifted from each other along the extension of each groove (26) .

An optical disc having a plurality of substantially concentrically extending tracks has a plurality of segments each including a servo area ARs and a data area ARd. In the servo area ARs, having servo pits representing the servo information to the disc drive, there are recorded discrimination marks SGM, ADM, STM1 and STM2. These discrimination marks SGM, ADM, STM1 and STM2 afford the segment-discriminating information depending on the recording position in the servo area ARs.

A magneto-optical memory element includes a substrate (11) having guide track grooves (12), and a multilayered data recording structure (31 to 34) provided on the substrate. The substrate also includes at least one address signal pit (13) provided between two successive guide track grooves (12). The recording structure is formed at least in the guide track grooves and has a substantially uniform thickness within each of the guide track grooves. The width (t 1 ) of the address signal pit is less than the width (t 2 ) of each of the guide track grooves.
