摘要:
An optical disk substrate in which a winding groove, which is winding in accordance with address information, and a normal groove, which is not winding, are placed alternately in the radial direction as tracking guides used for tracking control. With respect to this optical disk substrate, a laser beam, which is used for forming patterns for the tracking guides, is applied while being switched alternately between the first mode that exerts oscillations in the disk radial direction in accordance with the address information and the second mode that does not exert oscillations. An optical disk has a construction in which at least a recording layer is formed on the optical disk substrate.

An optical disk has address recording sections each of which has a wobbled part of one of side walls of a groove. Each address recording section is formed by providing convexes of a groove in an adjacent land so as to widen the groove. With the wobbles thus provided in a concavo-convex form, address information is recorded. Besides, the address recording sections thus provided in the grooves are linearly disposed in radial directions of the optical disk. By thus arranging the optical disk on whose grooves and/or lands information is recorded, mixing of wobble frequency components in reproduced information signals does not occur, the sector method is applicable to the optical disk, and information signals of high quality can be obtained.

A magneto-optical recording medium has a transparent substrate, a first magnetic layer, first intermediate layer, a second magnetic layer, and a third magnetic layer provided in this order. The first magnetic layer has an in-plane magnetization at room temperature, while a transition from the in-plane magnetization to a perpendicular magnetization occurs to the first magnetic layer with a temperature rise. The first intermediate layer is made of a non-magnetic substance. The second magnetic layer is a film having a perpendicular magnetization. The third magnetic layer is a film having a perpendicular magnetization, has a coercive force smaller than that of the second magnetic layer at room temperature, and has a Curie temperature higher than that of the second magnetic layer. The light intensity modulation overwriting method is applicable to the magneto-optical recording medium thus arranged, superior reproduction signal characteristics can be obtained with respect to this magneto-optical recording medium, and reproduction can be carried out with respect to the recording medium even though it has recording bits whose each diameter is smaller than that of a light beam. Thus it is possible to provide the magneto-optical recording medium suitable for high density recording.

In a method for reproducing an optical disk of the present invention, address information of an optical disk, provided with tracking guides composed of (1) a wobbling groove wobbled in accordance with address information and (2) a normal groove which is not wobbled, is reproduced. The wobbling groove and the normal groove are alternately provided in a radius direction of the optical disk. When carrying out recording and reproducing of the optical disk, three beams composed of one main beam and two sub beams are used. The three beams are projected so that (a) the sub beams are respectively on the wobbling groove and the normal groove and (b) the main beam is on a land between the wobbling groove and the normal groove. The address information is found from reflected light of one of the sub beams. The above arrangement allows respective central portions of the sub beams to track the tracking guides. Therefore, even in the case where the optical disk is tilted or vibrated, the sub beams do not deviate totally off the tracking guides, thereby permitting to stably reproduce the address information.

A magnetic recording medium having a recording layer made up of a ferrimagnetic material whose compensation temperature is included within room temperatures and an information recording-reproduction method using the magnetic recording medium. During recording, while a light beam is projected on the recording layer so as to raise the temperature of a recording portion, information is recorded by applying a signal magnetic field from a magnetic head. During reproduction, while a light beam is projected on a reproducing portion of the recording layer so as to raise the temperature thereof, information is reproduced by detecting leakage flux from the reproducing portion by the magnetic head. Thus, during reproduction, no magnetic flux is generated from other portions of the recording layer not irradiated by the light beam. With the arrangement, crosstalk due to leakage flux from adjoining tracks not irradiated by the optical beam can be eliminated. Therefore, track pitches can be made narrower so as to increase recording density of the magnetic recording medium. Further, since crosstalk from adjoining tracks is eliminated, a high S/N can be achieved.

A magneto-optical recording and reproducing device is provided with a magneto-optical disk for reproducing recorded information using light, a semiconductor laser, an objective lens for converging a light beam emitted from the semiconductor laser onto the magneto-optical disk and a light interrupting member for interrupting a portion of a light beam before it is incident on the objective lens. The magneto-optical disk is composed of a readout layer which is predominant in in-plane magnetization, and in which a transition occurs to be predominant in perpendicular magnetization as temperature thereof is raised and a recording layer for recording thereon information using a perpendicular magnetization. In this arrangement, since the light interrupting member is provided, a light spot can be made smaller, thereby improving a recording density. Moreover, even when temperature of the readout layer is raised due to a side robe generated by the light interrupting member, in-plane magnetization is maintained in the readout layer. Thus, interference by unwanted reproducing signals due to the side robe can be prevented, thereby improving a reproducing signal quality.
摘要:
A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus using a recording medium made of a ferrimagnetic material, comprises a magnetic head for magnetically recording information on a recording area of a selected information recording track on a recording medium having a plurality of tracks and for magnetically reproducing the information from the recording medium, the magnetic head has a width larger than that of the width of the selected information recording track of the recording medium. For recording, light beams are radiated from a first light source on the recording area of the selected information recording track upon which recording is to be performed tracks to raise the temperature of the irradiated area to approximately a Curie temperature so as to allow recording only on that area. For reproduction, light beams are radiated from another light source onto areas on both sides of on a second area of the recording medium, located on both sides of the selected information recording track, to raise the temperature of the second irradiated areas to approximately a magnetic compensation temperature so as to allow reproduction only from the desired track, thus preventing crosstalk from the side tracks.
摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium includes a readout layer has in-plane magnetization at room temperature and in which a transition occurs from in-plane magnetization to perpendicular magnetization when temperature thereof is raised, and a recording layer for recording thereon information. The composition of the readout layer varies in a direction perpendicular to the surface thereof, and in the readout layer, the Co density on the light incident side is higher than the Co density on the interface between the readout layer and the recording layer. Therefore, the Curie temperature on the reproducing light incident side of the readout layer is high and the the polar Kerr rotation angle in reproducing increases, thereby achieving improvements in a reproducing signal quality. On the other hand, since the Curie temperature on the interface is low, the shift of the threshold temperature at which a transition occurs from in-plane to perpendicular by the magnetic interaction between the layers can be suppressed, thereby achieving a high quality reproducing signal without changing the laser power required for reproduction very much.
