摘要:
An apparatus for recording and/or reproducing a magneto-optical recording medium having a recording layer, a reproducing layer and an intermediate layer for magnetically coupling the recording layer and the reproducing layer in a stationary state, in which the magnetic coupling between the recording layer and the reproducing layer is only able to take place in an area in which a temperature is increased to be higher than a predetermined temperature by the radiation of a light upon reproducing and in which a recorded information held in the recording layer is read out from the reproducing layer in the radiated area. This magneto-optical recording medium is characterized in that a Curie temperature of the intermediate layer is selected to be 150.degree. C. or more. Also, an apparatus which performs the above-mentioned functions and additionally which is capable of recording and/or reproducing conventional magneto-optical discs which reproduce and/or record over the entire area of irradiation.

An optical pickup apparatus of the present invention for reading out information signals recorded on an optical recording medium such as magneto-optical disc is adapted to split by means of a light splitting element a light beam emitted from a light source into two light beam travelling in different directions, which are linearly polarized in normally intersecting directions and to convert the phases of the vibrational components along normally intersecting two axes on a plane normally intersecting the traveling directions of the two light beams and to irradiate the recording medium with two light beams which are differently polarized so that two beam spots are partially superimposed with each other on the recording medium. The superimposed beam spot area which is a read out area is made smaller than one of the beam spots in size so that a high resolution read-out is performed.

To increase the track density, that is, to improve the recording density of the optical disk of ultra-high resolving power reproduction type, grooves 4 are formed in a transparent substrate 2; phase pits 1 are formed on groove bottom portions 5 and land portions 6 of the grooves; and further a material layer 3 is laminated. A polycarbonate substrate is used as the transparent substrate 2. The material layer 3 is formed of such a material that the state is partially changed due to heat of the reading light in the optical spot of the reading light but returned to the original state after the reading light has passed, and in addition the reflection factor of the material is changeable according to the state change. The material layer 3 is a ternary compound of Ge.sub.2 Sb.sub.2 Te.sub.3. The thermal conductivity of the transparent substrate 2 is smaller than that of the material layer 3. The temperature of the material layer 3 rises in the laser spot according to the light intensity distribution of the laser, so that the reflection factor changes partially to enable data read operation. The heat conduction suppression due to the presence of the stepped portions of the grooves 4 sharpens the temperature gradient, so that the range in which the reflection factor is increased due to the state change of the material layer 3 can be reduced, thus decreasing the track interval distance and thereby increasing the track density.

An optical disk having a greatly improved recording density. The disk has a transparent substrate provided with phase pits. A layer of a phase changeable material is formed on the substrate. This phase changeable material is a chalcogen or chalcogenide such as Sb.sub.2 Se.sub.3 or Sb.sub.2 Te.sub.3. When reading light is directed onto the disk, a part of the layer of the phase changeable material is melted within the spot of the reading light beam, and the reflectivity changes and a phase pit is read through the melted part. After the reading, the melted portion recrystallizes.

A high density magnetooptical recording and playback method is disclosed. The magnetooptical recording medium comprises a recording hold magnetic layer and a playback magnetic layer magnetically coupled with each other. Prior to the playback operation, the playback magnetic layer is initialized by an external magnetic field. A laser light is irradiated to locally heat the medium and cause transfer of magnetization in the recording hold magnetic layer to the playback magnetic layer. The signal is read out by the interaction of the laser light and the transferred magnetization.

In an optical recording and/or reproducing apparatus a main light beam and at least two auxiliary light beams are caused to impinge upon a disc for recording information thereon or reproducing information therefrom in a manner so that light beam spots formed on the disc by two auxiliary light beams are respectively equidistant from a light beam spot formed on the disc by the main light beam with a space between the auxiliary light beam spots in a radial direction of the disc corresponding to N/2 times a track pitch on the disc and the aforementioned light beams are then guided from the disc to a photosensor comprising a first photodetecting element divided into two parts for detecting the main light beam and a second photodetecting element divided into two parts for detecting both auxiliary light beams. A tracking error signal is produced based on a difference between detection outputs derived respectively from two parts of the first photodetecting element and a difference between detection outputs derived respectively from two parts of the second photodetecting element, one of which is subjected to level adjustment for compensating a difference in intensity between the main light beam and each of the auxiliary light beams.
