摘要:
A driving circuit for a magnetic head that is used for modulating magnetic field in a magneto-optical disk drive is provided, which reduces power consumption even if the magnetic head has large inductance. The driving circuit comprises a switching circuit for generating pulse-like drive current in synchronization with a timing for applying a pulse of light in accordance with a space between pits to be recorded on a magneto-optical disk, and a conversion circuit for converting the pulse-like drive current into sine-wave current to be supplied to the magnetic head such that the maximum magnetic field can be obtained at the timing for applying a pulse of light.

A high-speed large capacity file system is built in which the track density is improved by applying a highly precise magnetic domain width control technique to a light pulse-irradiated magnetic field modulation magnetooptical disk device which can be overwritten and is suitable for the improvement of the bit density. For the purpose, bipolar magnetic domains having edges of positive and negative polarities with respect to the direction of movement of a light spot are formed and the recording condition is optimized. Normal recording is carried out on the basis of the result of the optimization of the recording condition.

In magneto-optical recording medium, on a transparent substrate of polycarbonate resin, an SiN film having the thickness of 600 to 800 .ANG. and surface roughness Rmax of at most 10 nm is formed. On the SiN film, a GdFeCo reading layer having the thickness of 800 to 1200 .ANG. with Gd content of 30 to 36 at. % and Co content of 12 to 50 at. % is formed. On the reading layer, a TbFeCo recording layer of which Co content is 10 to 16 at. % is formed. The recording layer is a perpendicular magnetization film, and the reading layer is an in-plane magnetization film. At the time of reading, the reading and recording layers are heated, and the direction of magnetization of the recording layer is transferred to the reading layer only in the prescribed heated area. Information can be read only from the transferred portion, and thus a super resolution effect is obtained. When Kerr rotation angle .theta..sub.K is measured for the light reflected from the reading layer while the temperatures of the reading and recording layers are elevated, .theta..sub.K is approximately in proportion to Cth power of the elevated temperature t, wherein C is at least 8.0.
摘要:
A magneto-optic disk apparatus is disclosed which can reproduce data well from a magneto-optic disk on which the data are reproduced in a high density with an increased line density. Recording data are converted into NRZI data by a pre-encoder and recorded onto a magneto-optic disk using a magnetic field modulating method while irradiating a laser beam intermittently upon the disk. A reproduced radio frequency signal from the disk is clamped for each segment by a clamp circuit, converted into a digital signal by an analog to digital converter, waveform equalized by an equalizer so that it may be approximated to the waveform of a cosine filter suitable for partial response PR(1, 1), and supplied to a data detection circuit. The data detection circuit detects data using the viterbi algorithm to obtain reproduced data in the form of NRZ data. Since the partial response PR(1, 1) in which inter symbol interference is used positively is applied, even if the line density is raised to achieve high density recording, a sufficient phase margin can be assured. Since viterbi decoding is applied, the S/N ratio is enhanced to reduce the code error rate.

An apparatus determines that phase errors have exceeded a threshold when reading data previously recorded to a heat-assisted recording medium. In response to the phase errors exceeding the threshold, remedial action is taken to prevent loss of data due changes in power applied to heat the heat-assisted recording medium when recording.

An apparatus includes a waveguide that delivers energy from an energy source, a write pole located proximate the waveguide at a media-facing surface, and a near-field transducer located proximate the write pole in a down track direction. The near-field transducer includes an enlarged portion and a peg extending from the enlarged portion towards the media-facing surface. The peg comprises a taper facing away from the write pole, and the taper causes a reduced down track dimension of the peg near the media-facing surface.

A recording head includes a near-field transducer located an oblique angle to a media-facing surface. The near-field transducer includes an enlarged portion and a peg extending from the enlarged portion towards the media-facing surface at a normal angle. An input waveguide of the recording head receives energy from an energy source, and an output waveguide delivers the energy to near-field transducer at the oblique angle. The output waveguide is oriented at the oblique angle. A bent waveguide with a polynomial spiral shape joins the input waveguide and the output waveguide.
