摘要:
An information reproducing apparatus method includes the steps of radiating an optical spots to scan information marks recorded on tracks inside a predetermined information recording region, detecting an optical change of the information marks by this scanning operation, executing a signal processing for the reproducing signal so as to reduce inter-symbol interference of an interference amount that varies for each of the information marks, and reproducing the information corresponding to the information mark. The magnitude of the optical change due to the information mark is thereby detected, and a plurality of equalization coefficients used for an equalization processing are calculated for the magnitude of the optical change detected for each information mark. The inter-symbol interference is reduced on the basis of these equalization coefficients. In consequence, the inter-symbol interference can be reduced while the equalization coefficients are changed in accordance with the level of the reproducing signal.

Virtual tracks are set so that the rotation center of a magnetic recording medium or the vicinity of the rotation center coincides with the track center of the data information, and positioning servo control is performed. Thus, since it is not necessary to faithfully follow the track center line specified by the servo information that is previously recorded on the magnetic recording medium or magnetooptical recording medium, a vibration is not easily caused in synchronism with the rotation. Therefore, when the rotation center and the pattern center are deviated from each other, since a vibration is not caused in synchronism with the rotation, the magnetic head of the magnetic recorder or the magnetooptical head of the magnetooptical recorder is able to follow tracks with higher precision. Accordingly, the recording density can be increased.

An optical recording/reproducing method employs a recording laser beam having a first output and a first wavelength, and a reproducing laser beam having a second output lower than the first output and a second wavelength shorter than the first wavelength. A disk-like recording medium is irradiated with the recording and reproducing laser beams by use of an objective lens having an NA of about 0.55 so that a small mark equal to or smaller than about one fourth of a spot size optically defined from the wavelength of the recording laser beam and the NA of the objective lens is formed on the recording medium by a recording characteristic of the recording medium and a shielding plate provided in an optical system for irradiation with the laser beam. Two-dimensional recording is performed as a recording system to arrange marks at lattice points of a two-dimensional lattice which extend in a track direction and a track radius direction. The reproducing system detects a reproduction signal from the mark on the two-dimensional lattice point, and the reproduction signal from each mark is used to perform a signal processing, thereby detecting information.

Learning marks are recorded in a learning region preceding a data recording region of the track. The positions of information recording lattice points are staggered by one lattice point between two contiguous tracks. At reading of recorded information, a two-dimensional information leakage amount is detected by the reproduced signals from a learning mark preceding a target information recording lattice point on a track, and from the information recording lattice points immediately before and after the learning mark in question. The equalization coefficients are calculated from leakage amount thus obtained. The crosstalk present in a reproduced signal for the target lattice point is removed by using this equalization coefficients and a pair of reproduced signals from intermediate lattice points which are located immediately before and after the current lattice point and which are not used to record information marks. Inter-symbol interference left in the crosstalk-removed reproduced signal is further removed by use of the reproduced signals from a plurality of information recording lattice points which are located immediately before and after the target lattice point.
摘要:
An optical information recording/reproducing method includes that information is recorded on a rotary disk in an optically discriminative form, a light emitted from a light source is focused on the surface of the disk to form a light spot, the information is scanned with the light spot relative thereto in a rotating direction of the disk, and a reflection light or transmitting light from the disk is collected by an optical system to record or reproduce the information. An optically discriminative first information mark having a frequency higher than a spatial frequency resolvable by the optical system is recorded on the surface of the disk, an optically discriminative second information mark having a spatial frequency component higher than that resolvable by the optical system is overwrite-recorded on the first information mark, and a frequency component which is prepared from the first and second information marks and which is higher than the spatial frequency resolvable by the optical system is converted into a spatial frequency component detectable by the optical system.
摘要:
A method of reproducing information by scanning information marks, disposed with a predetermined mark pitch therebetween and recorded on tracks inside a predetermined information recording region, by an optical spot. The method includes detecting the size of the optical change resulting from the information mark, calculating a plurality of equalization coefficients used for an equalization processing for the size of the optical change detected for each of the information marks, and reducing the inter-symbol interference on the basis of the equalization coefficients by the equalization processing. The equalization coefficient used for the equalization processing of the size of the optical change by a first information mark is greater than said equalization coefficient used for the equalization processing of the size of said optical change by a second information mark which is longer than the first information mark.

摘要:
A magnetic recording medium comprises, on a substrate, a soft magnetic layer, a first seed layer, a second seed layer, and a recording layer having an artificial lattice structure. The first seed layer contains oxide of Fe. The second seed layer contains one of Pd and Pt, Si, and N. The magnetic exchange coupling force in the in-plane direction of the recording layer is weakened by the first seed layer and the second seed layer. Accordingly, minute recording magnetic domains can be formed in the recording layer, and the magnetization transition area is distinct as well. Even when information is recorded at a high density, the information can be reproduced with low noise. A magnetic storage apparatus, which is provided with such a magnetic recording medium, makes it possible to achieve an areal recording density of 150 gigabits/square inch.
