摘要:
A magneto-optical disk, which possesses a disc-shaped substrate and a recording layer composed of a perpendicular magnetization film that is formed on the substrate, characterized in having: an area wherein magnetic domains having an upward magnetization and magnetic domains having a downward magnetization are alternately aligned along at least one circuit of the disk, the area being formed on the recording layer, the length of the magnetic domains having the upward magnetization being virtually equal to the length of the magnetic domains having the downward magnetization. This invention also has a reproducing method which is characterized in that, when information is reproduced by projecting a light beam onto the magneto-optical recording disk, the intensity of the light beam is adjusted so as to maximize the amplitude of a reproduced signal that is obtained from the area. With the above arrangement, a high-quality reproduced signal can be obtained independent of the characteristics of individual magneto-optical disks.

A recording and reproducing device for a magneto-optical card includes an optical head for irradiating a magneto-optical recording medium of a magneto-optical card placed into the device with a laser beam. A magnetic field generator applies a biased magnetic field to the magneto-optical recording medium, and an optical system manipulating mechanism for the optical system of the above-mentioned optical head varies the spot irradiated by the laser beam. The optical head is fixed to the main frame of the device. The magneto-optical card is also supported where it is irradiated by the laser beam emitted from the optical head. The magneto-optical card is moved in a plane parallel to the surface of the magneto-optical card for rough searching and then a part of or the whole magnetic field generator is moved to come into contact with the magneto-optical card to stop the vibration of the magneto-optical card. The spot to be irradiated by the laser beam is then varied by means of the optical system of the optical head.

Double sided optical memory disks are produced by dropping a viscous adhesive material hardenable by ultraviolet radiation at predetermined longitudinal intervals onto an elongated cloth material of uniform thickness thereby causing the adhesive material to become absorbed by and contained in the cloth material, thereafter placing this cloth material sandwichedly between two optical disk pieces each containing a recording layer, thereafter applying pressure between these pieces such that the sandwiching pieces remain separated uniformly by a predetermined separation distance, and thereafter applying ultraviolet radiation to and thereby hardening the adhesive material while the disk pieces are maintained at the uniform separation distance.

A magneto-optic memory element includes a GdTbFe recording layer sandwiched between a pair of transparent AlN dielectric layers. At least one of the pair of transparent AlN dielectric layers is extended to have a size larger than the GdTbFe recording layer so as to cover the peripheral edge of the GdTbFe recording layer, thereby protecting the GdTbFe recording layer from oxygen and moisture. An Al-Ni alloy reflection film is formed on one of the pair of transparent AlN dielectric layers in order to increase the apparent Kerr rotation angle produced by the magneto-optic memory element.

A magneto-optic memory device, such as a magneto-optic disk or magneto-optic card having a pair of opposed substrates at least one of which is transparent. Between the substrates is a magneto-optic memory layer made of a stack of dielectric film, a rear earth-transition metal alloy thin film, a dielectric film and a light reflecting film built on the surface of the transparent substrate opposed to the other substrate. An adhesive layer covers the memory layer and bonds the transparent substrate to the other substrate. Lastly, a metal nitride film interposed between the light reflecting film of the memory layer and the adhesive layer.

A substrate for manufacturing an optical memory device includes one surface covered with a protective film provided with openings only in portions corresponding to recording layers to be formed on the substrate, thereby allowing the protective film to function as a mask for forming the recording layers in a recording layer forming process. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing an optical memory device including the steps of continuously feeding a substrate covered with a protective film provided with openings only in portions corresponding to recording layers to be formed on the substrate, forming the recording layers through the openings on the substrate, forming guide tracks on the substrate, stripping the protective film from the substrate, cutting the substrate to a predetermined size, and forming a protective layer on the substrate.
摘要:
The magneto-optical recording medium is provided with a readout layer which shows the in-plane magnetization and which changes from the in-plane magnetization to the vertical magnetization when its temperature rises higher than a predetermined temperature by irradiation of the light beam, a memory layer which records information thereon magneto-optically, an intermediate layer which keeps in-plane magnetization from room temperatures to its Curie temperature, and an writing layer which has a Curie temperature higher than that of the memory layer and has coercive force lower than that of the memory layer. Since the intermediate layer becomes a domain wall in optical modulation recording, it prevents the memory layer and the writing layer from forming a domain wall, so information can be recorded in good condition. Moreover, a portion of the readout layer besides a center portion of the light beam shows the in-plane magnetization and masks the memory layer at playback. Therefore, a recording bit can be made small and recording density can be improved without increasing interference of signals from neighboring recording bits, which causes noises.
摘要:
A magneto-optical disk comprising a substrate whereon a recording medium is formed, and a depression is formed on the substrate on the inside of the recording medium of the substrate. A center hub is installed on the depression such that the center hub is substantially level with a protective resin layer covering the recording medium. On the center hub, a flying head performs CSS (Contact Start and Stop). This configuration of the disk eliminates the occurrence of dust due to the abrasion and head crash, and achieves stable CSS. A method of manufacturing the magneto-optical disk, wherein the protective resin layer is formed after installing the center hub on the depression. In this method, since a space is not produced between the center hub and the protective resin layer, the stable flying characteristics is obtained. And a magneto-optical disk whereon small physical bumps and pits are formed on the substrate on the inside of the recording medium, which prevents the flying head from sticking to the disk. A method of manufacturing the magneto-optical disk by using a stamper, which permits the disk to be mass produced.
