摘要:
An intermediate layer is formed between a memory layer and a writing layer. The intermediate layer shows in-plane magnetization at room temperature, and perpendicular magnetization within a temperature range within which the coercive force of the memory layer is lower than that of the writing layer. The Curie point of the intermediate layer is lower than that of the memory layer. Like a conventional method, light-intensity modulation overwriting is performed by irradiating laser light whose intensity has been modulated between high level and low level while applying a recording magnetic field after performing an initialization. Even when there are variations in the raised temperature by the irradiation of laser light of high level, it is possible to perform stable overwriting with light-intensity modulation by satisfactorily restraining the exchange forces between the intermediate layer and the writing layer from causing coupling.

A recording layer having a recording magnetic domain for recording thereon information is formed. A readout layer for reading the information by the application of a light beam is formed on the recording layer. An intermediate layer made of a film having in-plane magnetization is formed between the recording layer and readout layer to control a magnetic exchange coupling force between the recording layer and readout layer. The readout layer is arranged so that the stable magnetic domain width in the readout layer is larger than that of the recording magnetic domain in the recording layer at room temperature. At a readout temperature achieved by the light beam, the stable magnetic domain width becomes smaller than that of the recording magnetic domain, and the magnetization direction in the recording magnetic domain is copied. Consequently, the information on the recording layer is read only from a section corresponding to a central portion of the light beam through the readout layer by the light beam, and the effect of other magnetic domains adjacent to the magnetic domain to be read in the readout layer can be reduced. It is thus possible to achieve high density recording of information on the recording layer.

A magneto-optical recording medium includes first, second, and third magnetic layers laminated in this order. The first magnetic layer, made of a rare earth-transition metal alloy, has a great coercive force at room temperature and is transition metal rich in a temperature range between room temperature and a Curie temperature of the first magnetic layer. The second magnetic layer, made of a rare earth-transition metal alloy, has a Curie temperature higher than that of the first magnetic layer and is rare-earth metal rich at room temperature. The third magnetic layer, made of a rare earth-transition metal alloy, has a Curie temperature higher than that of the first magnetic layer, and a compensation temperature falling in a temperature range between room temperature and the Curie temperature of the third magnetic layer. A magnetization of the third magnetic layer is transferred to the first magnetic layer at a temperature higher than room temperature. A perpendicular magnetic anisotropy Ku3 satisfies 0.3.times.10.sup.6 erg/cc

A magneto-optical disk provided with a record layer having a recording magnetic domain where data are recorded, an auxiliary reproduction layer for transferring the record data in the record layer to a reproduction layer by generating a floating magnetic field corresponding to the data in the record layer, and the reproduction layer from which the data are read out through irradiation of a light beam, which are sequentially layered while interposing nonmagnetic intermediate layers therebetween. The stable magnetic domain width in the auxiliary reproduction layer is shorter than the recording magnetic domain width at room temperature and extends as the temperature rises and becomes longer at or above a first temperature. The stable magnetic domain width in the reproduction layer is longer than the recording magnetic domain width at room temperature and lessens as the temperature rises and becomes shorter at or above a second temperature which is lower than the first temperature. The first and second temperatures satisfy a condition expressed as: room temperature

摘要:
A recording layer including a recording magnetic domain for recording thereon information is formed. A reproducing layer for reproducing information by projecting thereto a light beam is formed on the recording layer. A non-magnetic intermediate layer for intercepting a magnetic exchange coupling force exerted between the recording layer and the reproducing layer is formed between the recording layer and the reproducing layer. The reproducing layer is arranged such that the width of the stable magnetic domain on the reproducing layer at room temperature is larger than the width of the recording magnetic domain in the recording layer. At a reproducing temperature by the light beam, the width of the stable magnetic domain becomes smaller than the width of the recording magnetic domain, and the information is copied by the leakage magnetic flux of the recording magnetic domain. Depending on whether or not the information transferred to the reproducing layer is reproduced, the effects from other magnetic domain adjacent to the magnetic domain to be reproduced from the reproducing layer can be prevented, thereby enabling a high density recording of information on the recording layer.

An optical recording element comprising a recording medium which includes an information recording area formed at every unit in a non-continuous condition, the recording medium further including sample pits disposed at intervals of a fixed distance for providing basic information about the locations of the recording units in same track. Each sample pit comprises a plurality of pits disposed next to the sequence of the recording units so that the spacing between the pits differs from the spacing between the recording units. At least one of the plurality of pits is a long-sized inclined pit which is inclined at an angle in the range of 6.degree. to 80.degree. to a recording track. A driving system for driving the optical recording element for recording information in the non-continuous recording area or erasing information stored therein with a light beam the output of which is varied as required and checking whether said recording or erasing has been correctly performed, within a very short time in which the light beam passes through the non-continuous recording area. By using the optical recording element in combination with its driving system, the processing speed for reducing, erasing and verifying these functions can be greatly improved and the irradiating position of the light beam at every recording unit can be correctly controlled.

A magneto-optical memory medium is provided, on a substrate, with a first magnetic layer, which shows in-plane magnetization at room temperature and perpendicular magnetization above a certain temperature, and a second magnetic layer, which shows perpendicular magnetization within a range from room temperature up to its Curie temperature. The first magnetic layer is made up of alternating films of rare earth metals and transition metals. As a result, a magneto-optical memory medium can be provided which has a wide reproducing power margin, and which is able to prevent deterioration of characteristics due to repeated laser projection.

An optical disk includes a plurality of disk sheets which are laminated, and each of which has a recording face on one of the surfaces and a flat back surface, wherein the plurality of disk sheets are laminated by adhesive layers in such a manner that between adjacent two disk sheets, a back surface of one of the disk sheets, on the opposite side of the surface where the recording face is formed, faces the disk surface of the other disk sheet. The foregoing structure realizes an optical disk of desirable recording/reproducing characteristics, which is flat and has a fixed interval between recording faces, and which permits the problems of coma aberration, spherical aberration, etc., to be suppressed.
