In an optical head of an optical memory device which records, reproduces or erases information onto or from a recording medium by applying a laser beam to the recording medium, a beam splitter is disposed in an optical path to conduct a portion of the laser beam emitted from a laser device to a light detector. In accordance with a detected value from this light detector, the influence of a stray beam generated in an optical system is removed from a servo error signal.

A magneto-optical memory device includes a recording medium having a magnetic anisotropy in a direction perpendicular to the main surface thereof. A semiconductor laser is employed in an optical system of the magneto-optical memory device for reproduction purposes. A polarization beam splitter is disposed in the optical system. A multi coated dielectric thin-film is deposited on the reflection surface of the polarization beam splitter in order to establish a desired relationship between the reflection of the P-polarization component and the S-polarization component.

Disclosed is a new magnetic storage medium including a layer of amorphous material typically GdDyFe whose Curie recording point (e.g., 120.degree. C.) is lower than its crystallization point (e.g., 350.degree. C.) to enable crystallization to cause variations in its optical properties such as transmittance or reflectivity for thermomagnetic writing. Reversible recordings are set up on the amorphous material layer by a thermomagnetic writing technique, for example Curie point writing, while unchangeable or permanent recordings are set up on the amorphous material layer through laser-activated crystallization of the amorphous material layer.

Disclosed below is a control device for positioning an optical focus in an optical disc apparatus that records, plays back, and erases any information by irradiating optical beams such as the laser beams onto a recording media composed of magnetic film, wherein the control device is characterized in that; it incorporates a focussing permanent magnet that makes up a closed magnetic circuit, a focussing yoke plate, a focussing yoke, and a focussing device coil installed so that it crosses a focussing magnetic space existing that exists between the focussing yoke plate and the focussing yoke so that the focussing magnetic space can be created in an area close to the recording media which is installed in the closed magnetic circuit. In addition, the optical focus position control device that executes both the tracking and focussing control operations for the optical disc apparatus also includes mechanism that drives the objective lens in the direction of dual axes, i.e., in the vertical (up/down) and horizontal (left/right) directions.

A method is provided for manufacturing a magneto-optical memory element having guide grooves for storing information. The method includes applying a laser beam onto a resist film material located on a substrate to produce guide track grooves and address signal pits. Thereafter the resist film is developed. The remaining resist film is removed and a magnetic medium layer is deposited on the substrate.

An apparatus for operating a magneto-optic medium includes a magnetic biasing field developing device for developing a magnetic biasing field which is applied to the magneto-optic medium when the magneto-optic medium erases or records data. Additionally, a neutral-position controller is provided for positioning permanent magnets of the magnetic biasing field developing device in a neutral position with respect to the medium when the magnetic biasing field developing device is switched off. Thereby, the neutral-position controller maintains the medium at the neutral position with respect to the permanent magnets until the magnetic biasing developing device is switched on and the permanent magnets are placed in a field applying position.

The track counter for optical disk in accordance with the present invention, that counts the number of tracks a light beam passes upon when an optical head moves over an optical disk in the radial direction, comprises a passage signal generating circuit for detecting based on a reflected light of the light beam from the optical disk, that the light beam passed upon a track and for releasing a passage signal on that occasion, a counter that counts the passage signals released by the passage signal generating circuit, a count suspending circuit for forecasting that the light beam will pass upon a specific position of a track and for suspending the count by the aforementioned counter of the passage signals during this forecasted period, and a count value compensating circuit for assuming, when the count of the passage signals is suspended by the count suspending circuit, the number of tracks the light beam passed upon during that period, and for adding this assumed number to the count value of the counter. This track counter for optical disk is arranged such that it is able to count accurately the number of tracks the light beam passed upon even when the light beam passed upon the ID sections of a track, or when the passage upon a track cannot be detected because of a scratch on the surface of the disk or the like. Thereby, when the optical head moves and slides, the access speed may be enhanced.
