摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium has a recording layer made of a perpendicular magnetization film, and a readout layer which is in an in-plane magnetization state at room temperature and changes into a perpendicular magnetization state with a rise in temperature. When the magneto-optical recording medium is irradiated with a light beam, the readout layer separates into three regions: a region in an in-plane magnetization state, a region in a perpendicular magnetization state, and a region having a temperature not lower than the Curie temperature thereof. Only the region in the perpendicular magnetization state allows copying of the magnetization of the recording layer. Therefore, even when the diameter and intervals of recording bits on the recording layer are very small, it is possible to reproduce a target recording bit separately from a recording bit adjacent to the target recording bit.

A magneto-optical recording medium including at least a recording layer, and an auxiliary recording layer which achieves magnetostatic coupling with the recording layer. The auxiliary recording layer is in an in-plane magnetization state at temperatures lower than a recording temperature, and in a perpendicular magnetization state at temperatures not lower than the recording temperature. It is therefore possible to achieve a decrease in a recording magnetic field.

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 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.

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.

The present invention includes a first computing section (41) that controls the heat generation amount of the heat generating section (20) according to the heat generation amount control information that is arranged in advance to correspond to temperature information that is obtained from a temperature sensor (13). This easily makes it possible to appropriately carry out at least either recording or reproduction with respect to a magnetic recording medium.
