    摘要: A magneto-optical recording medium with a reproducing layer that exhibits in-plane magnetization at room temperature and that comes to exhibit perpendicular magnetization as temperature rises. The second shielding layer is used to block the magnetization of record bits other than a record bit to be reproduced from being copied on a signal reproducing area in the reproducing layer. Consequently, even in the case of high-density record bits in the recording layer, only the magnetization of the record bit to be reproduced is copied on the reproducing layer. Therefore, the application of the magneto-optical recording medium makes it possible to produce superior reproducing signals even in the case where the records bits with high density are formed on the recording layer.

    摘要: A non-magnetic intermediate layer is provided between a reproductive layer and a recording layer. The reproductive layer is composed of a first reproductive layer and a second reproductive layer. When the first reproductive layer has a temperature that is higher than a first critical temperature, its stable magnetic domain width becomes smaller than a recording magnetic domain width so that the magnetization is reversed. When the second reproductive layer has a temperature that is higher than a second critical temperature, its stable magnetic domain width becomes larger than the recording magnetic domain width so that the reversed magnetic domain is collapsed. The first critical temperature is lower than the second critical temperature. A reproductive output having abrupt rising and falling can be obtained by the generation and the collapse of the reverse magnetic domain on the reproductive layer. For this reason, higher density recording required for larger capacity can be achieved.

The guide groove tracks are arranged parallel to each other and they are used for controlling a position of a light beam. There is a land region between the guide groove tracks which is wider than the width of the guide groove tracks as measured in the disc-radial direction. Prepits for providing address information for the guide groove tracks are provided. The prepits are formed on the land regions and interposed between the lateral edges in the disc-radial direction of adjacent parallel guide groove tracks. Each prepit has a width which width is a narrower dimension than the width of each guide groove track as measured in the disc-radial direction.

    摘要: In an optical disk, grooves and lands serving as recording tracks are provided, the grooves are shaped so as to have virtually the same width, and in a first region, the two side walls of each groove wind in accordance with address information. The first region of the groove is formed with its leading portion located at the same angular position as the leading portion of at least one of the first regions of the adjacent grooves. Moreover, the winding portions corresponding to respective bits of the address information are formed in a manner so as to synchronize to the adjacent grooves. With this arrangement, it becomes possible to easily detect address information from the grooves and lands, and consequently to obtain an information reproducing signal with high quality.

    摘要: A magneto-optical recording medium has at least a substrate, a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, and a first interface layer provided between the first and second magnetic layers. The first magnetic layer exhibits a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy from room temperature to a Curie temperature thereof. The second magnetic layer has a coercive force lower than A: that of the first magnetic layer at room temperature, has a Curie temperature higher than that of the first magnetic layer, and exhibits a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy from room temperature to a Curie temperature of the second magnetic layer. The first interface layer is made of at least one rare-earth metal and has a thickness of several atoms. With this arrangement, it is possible (1) to carry out light modulation overwriting with respect to the magneto-optical recording medium, (2) to carry out initialization without an initializing magnetic field, and (3) to stabilize recording bits.

    摘要: A magneto-optical recording medium with a first, second, and third magnetic layers which are laminated on a substrate. The first magnetic layer has a perpendicular magnetization in a temperature range between room temperature and its Curie temperature. The second magnetic layer has an in-plane magnetization at room temperature, and has a perpendicular magnetization at or above a temperature falling within a range between room temperature and its Curie temperature. The third magnetic layer has an in-plane magnetization at room temperature, and has a perpendicular magnetization at or above a temperature falling within a range between room temperature and the temperature at which a transition occurs in the second magnetic layer from the in-plane magnetization to the perpendicular magnetization. Accordingly, since the second and third magnetic layers have the in-plane magnetization at room temperature, it is possible to previously direct the magnetization of the third magnetic layer in a single specific direction by the induction of an initializing magnetic field during a rise in temperature caused by a laser beam projection. Therefore, the initializing magnetic field can be set smaller than a recording magnetic field. As a result, it is possible to reduce the size of a recording device.

    摘要: A recording layer having a recording magnetic domain for recording thereon information is formed. A readout layer for reading the information by the application of a light beam is formed on the recording layer. An intermediate layer made of a film having in-plane magnetization is formed between the recording layer and readout layer to control a magnetic exchange coupling force between the recording layer and readout layer. The readout layer is arranged so that the stable magnetic domain width in the readout layer is larger than that of the recording magnetic domain in the recording layer at room temperature. At a readout temperature achieved by the light beam, the stable magnetic domain width becomes smaller than that of the recording magnetic domain, and the magnetization direction in the recording magnetic domain is copied. Consequently, the information on the recording layer is read only from a section corresponding to a central portion of the light beam through the readout layer by the light beam, and the effect of other magnetic domains adjacent to the magnetic domain to be read in the readout layer can be reduced. It is thus possible to achieve high density recording of information on the recording layer.

    摘要: A magneto-optical memory medium according to the present invention comprises a reproducing layer, which has in-plane magnetization at room temperature and perpendicular magnetization when heated to above a predetermined temperature by a reproducing light beam; a recording layer, which is magnetostatically coupled to the reproducing layer; and an in-plane magnetized layer, provided adjacent to the recording layer, which has a Curie temperature at the above-mentioned predetermined temperature. In this medium, at temperatures below the predetermined temperature, signals recorded at high density in the recording layer are masked, and the above-mentioned magnetostatic coupling is suppressed, by magnetic masking by the in-plane magnetized layer. At temperatures above the predetermined temperature, however, within a domain forming part of the in-plane magnetized layer, the recording layer and the reproducing layer are magnetostatically coupled, and a recording bit of the recording layer is copied and expanded to a magnetic domain in the reproducing layer. Accordingly, with this medium, by reproducing from an expanded magnetic domain of the reproducing layer, even information from recording bits recorded at high density can be reproduced with high signal quality.
