摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium is arranged so that (1) a first transparent dielectric layer, (2) a reproduction layer showing in-plane magnetization at room temperature while showing perpendicular magnetization in response to temperature rise, (3) a second transparent dielectric layer, (4) a recording layer made of perpendicular magnetization film; and (5) a protective layer are laminated on a substrate in this order. The reproduction layer has a thickness of 5 nm to 30 nm, the second transparent dielectric layer has a thickness of 6 nm to 40 nm, and the recording layer has a thickness of 20 nm to 80 nm. It is possible to separately reproduce individual recording bit even when one or more adjacent recording bits exist within the diameter of the light beam converged onto a target recording bit. This is because the information of a recording magnetic domain of a portion showing in-plane magnetization is masked.

A magneto-optical medium has a substrate through which a light beam is transmitted and a recording-reproduction layer. The recording-reproduction layer, which exhibits an in-plane magnetization characteristic at the first temperature while still containing magnetization components in the perpendicular direction corresponding to information, comes to exhibit a perpendicular magnetization characteristic above the second temperature higher than the first temperature. In this magneto-optical recording medium, information is reproduced by utilizing a temperature distribution of the recording-reproduction layer being subjected to irradiation of a light beam and by raising the temperature of a portion within a light spot of the light beam from the first temperature to the second temperature.

A surface of a magneto-optical recording medium of the present invention is textured with fine and physical protrusions and recessions. The shapes of physical protrusions and recessions vary at each radial locations on the medium such that, for example, rough protrusions and recessions are formed in inner parts of the recording medium and fine protrusions and recessions are formed in outer parts thereof. Therefore, floating force given to a floating head from the medium being rotated based on the constant angular velocity method through an air layer in the outer parts equals floating force in the inner parts. Consequently, since the floating height of the floating head becomes constant irrespective of radial locations on the medium, information can be recorded under constant recording conditions, permitting the accuracy of the recording to improve. Regarding a method for processing the surface of a magneto-optical recording medium relating to the present invention, for example, a texture tape whose roughness is large is used in inner parts of the medium while a texture tape whose roughness is small is used in outer parts thereof. As a result, a magneto-optical recording medium having the above characteristics is produced.

A reproducing optical device for a magneto-optical recording medium related to the present invention having light sources that emit linearly polarized lights towards a magneto-optical recording medium, polarization directions of the linearly polarized lights being mutually orthogonal. A quarter wavelength plate disposed between the recording medium and the light sources converts each of the linearly polarized lights into right and left circularly polarized lights respectively. Corresponding to recorded information, the recording medium has magnetized sections that are magnetized in a perpendicularly upward and downward direction with respect to a medium surface. Moreover, the recording medium displays the property of circular dichroism. When the right circularly polarized light and the left circularly polarized light are reflected off the recording medium, a first and a second photodetector generate a first and a second reproduced signal respectively, based on variation in reflected light intensity of each of the circularly polarized lights. This variation corresponds to the upward and the downward magnetization directions of the magnetized sections and is due to the circular dichroism effect. There is a phase difference of half a cycle between the first and the second reproduced signal and the signals vary inversely with respect to each other. Consequently, disk noise is cancelled by differentially amplifying the first and the second reproduced signal, and an SN ratio of a reproduced signal thereby can be improved.

摘要:
A transparent substrate of an optical memory is produced by injection molding using a stamper. Grooves and lands are alternately arranged on the optical memory, for tracking of light converged on the optical memory. The groove width is set in the range of 0.3 .mu.m to 0.4 .mu.m and the groove depth is set in the rage of 80 nm to 100 nm. A decrease in the width of a land at each edge is restrained to 0.2 .mu.m in maximum. With such dimensions, even when the track pitch is set to about 1.4 .mu.m, it is possible to obtain a track crossing signal with intensity sufficient for performing an access operation to a target track. Moreover, since the dimensions bring about an improved reflectance at a land, the optical memory achieves an improved C/N and recording density.
摘要:
A magneto-optical recording apparatus which records information through the processes of: first irradiating a light beam onto a magneto-optical recording medium having a recording film; and next applying an external magnetic field that is inverted in response to a recording signal onto the recording film while continuing the first process. In the above arrangement, the intensity of the light beam is dropped upon inversion of the external magnetic field so that information is not recorded. The intensity of the light beam is raised during non-inversion of the external magnetic field so that information is recorded. Further the magneto-optical recording apparatus is provided with a light intensity control device for varying the intensity of the light beam dependent of the lengths of recording bits so that the high-temperature area of the recording film is not widened. Since the width of the recording bits is uniformly maintained, the remaining of the recording bit after overwriting operation can be reduced; thus, the signal quality in reproduction can be enhanced.
