摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium including a base; a readout layer formed on the base; a recording layer formed on the readout layer; and an auxiliary recording layer formed on the recording layer, each of the readout layer, recording layer and auxiliary recording layer being made of an alloy of rare-earth metal and transition metal showing ferrimagnetism. The alloy composition of each layer is determined so that the recording layer has a Curie temperature lower than Curie temperatures of the readout layer and the auxiliary recording layer and has a coercive force higher than coercive forces of the readout layer and the auxiliary recording layer at room temperature and that, when the temperature of the recording layer is raised to near its Curie temperature while perpendicularly applying a uniform recording magnetic field to each layer, a sublattice magnetic moment of the rare-earth metal of the readout layer and a sublattice magnetic moment of the rare-earth metal of the auxiliary recording layer are antiparallel to each other. And, a method of recording information on the magneto-optical recording medium. This structure enables overwriting by light-intensity modulation without using an initializing magnetic field.

An optical recording element comprising a recording medium which includes an information recording area formed at every unit in a non-continuous condition, the recording medium further including sample pits disposed at intervals of a fixed distance for providing basic information about the locations of the recording units in same track. Each sample pit comprises a plurality of pits disposed next to the sequence of the recording units so that the spacing between the pits differs from the spacing between the recording units. At least one of the plurality of pits is a long-sized inclined pit which is inclined at an angle in the range of 6.degree. to 80.degree. to a recording track. A driving system for driving the optical recording element for recording information in the non-continuous recording area or erasing information stored therein with a light beam the output of which is varied as required and checking whether said recording or erasing has been correctly performed, within a very short time in which the light beam passes through the non-continuous recording area. By using the optical recording element in combination with its driving system, the processing speed for reducing, erasing and verifying these functions can be greatly improved and the irradiating position of the light beam at every recording unit can be correctly controlled.

Double sided optical memory disks are produced by dropping a viscous adhesive material hardenable by ultraviolet radiation at predetermined longitudinal intervals onto an elongated cloth material of uniform thickness thereby causing the adhesive material to become absorbed by and contained in the cloth material, thereafter placing this cloth material sandwichedly between two optical disk pieces each containing a recording layer, thereafter applying pressure between these pieces such that the sandwiching pieces remain separated uniformly by a predetermined separation distance, and thereafter applying ultraviolet radiation to and thereby hardening the adhesive material while the disk pieces are maintained at the uniform separation distance.

A photo-mask which is used for the production of a substrate for an optical memory element includes a reflective film formed over an ultraviolet non-transmissive film on a substrate. Alternatively, a multi-layer dielectric film which is not transmissive to light of wavelength about 400 nm but transmissive to light of wavelength about 450 nm is formed on a substrate.

A magneto-optic memory element includes a GdTbFe recording layer sandwiched between a pair of transparent AlN dielectric layers. At least one of the pair of transparent AlN dielectric layers is extended to have a size larger than the GdTbFe recording layer so as to cover the peripheral edge of the GdTbFe recording layer, thereby protecting the GdTbFe recording layer from oxygen and moisture. An Al-Ni alloy reflection film is formed on one of the pair of transparent AlN dielectric layers in order to increase the apparent Kerr rotation angle produced by the magneto-optic memory element.

The method of the present invention is for recording, reproducing, and deleting information on and from an optical disk including a plurality of tracks each having M guide grooves (M is an integer equal to or larger than 2) and M-1 land(s) interposed between the adjacent guide grooves, at least one of the land(s) having a group of pits for producing address information. The method includes the step of: focusing light beams on the respective guide grooves and land(s) for effecting the recording, reproduction, and deletion of information. Such an optical disk is also provided.

Assuming that a diameter of the light beam at a portion where a light intensity of the light beam becomes 1/e.sup.2 of a light intensity of the center of the light beam is L, a track pitch p is arranged such that 0.6.ltoreq.L/p.ltoreq.1.2. Therefore, even when the track density is increased, i.e., the width of the groove portion and the width of the land portion are reduced, a satisfactory signal quality with low level of crosstalk is obtained. Accordingly, such a magneto-optical disk achieves a high recording density.
