A magneto-optical recording medium includes a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer and a third magnetic layer respectively made of rare-earth-transition metal alloys which are laminated in this order. The first magnetic layer has a perpendicular magnetization in a temperature range between room temperature and its Curie temperature. The second magnetic layer made of GdFeCo is set such that its Curie temperature is higher than the Curie temperature of the first magnetic layer, coercive force thereof at room temperature is nearly zero, and that it has an in-plane magnetization at room temperature and a transition occurs therein from the in-plane magnetization to the perpendicular magnetization at above a predetermined temperature. The third magnetic layer is set such that it has a perpendicular magnetization in a temperature range of room temperature and its Curie temperature, its Curie temperature is higher than the Curie temperature of the first magnetic layer, and coercive force thereof at room temperature is smaller than the coercive force of the first magnetic layer.

A magneto-optical disk is provided with a recording layer that exhibits perpendicular magnetization, an intermediate layer wherein in-plane magnetization occurs at room temperature and a transition from the in-plane magnetization to perpendicular magnetization occurs as the temperature thereof rises, and an auxiliary layer that is made of a rare-earth-transition-metal alloy and that exhibits perpendicular magnetization, and these layers are laminated in this order. The composition of the rare-earth-transition-metal alloy is set so that the magnetic moment of the rare-earth metal is relatively greater than that of the transition metal at room temperature and the compensation temperature is located between room temperature and the Curie temperature T.sub.c3. A magneto-optical recording apparatus for rewriting information on the magneto-optical disk is provided with a single magnet for applying H.sub.w onto a portion on the magneto-optical disk irradiated by a light beam, as well as for applying H.sub.init having a greater intensity than H.sub.w onto a portion that is apart from the portion irradiated by the light beam. This arrangement makes it possible to achieve a more compact, thinner magneto-optical recording apparatus which allows light-modulation overwriting.

A photomagnetic composite head comprising a magnetic head and an optical head that are integrated into one unit, an optical waveguide path of the optical head being located in the surface of the magnetic head that faces a recording medium, and a laser beam that passes through the optical waveguide path being irradiated on a point on the recording medium where a magnetic field is impressed from the magnetic head, whereby recording can be performed under a condition in which the coercivity of the recording medium has been lowered by the laser beam, thus making it possible to achieve high density recording by using a recording medium with a high coercivity.

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.
