摘要:
A laser diode monitoring apparatus activates the laser diode in a manner of impulse, measures the sag of light output level, and judges the light emitting performance to be deteriorated if the sag is greater than the reference value. The value of sag comprehends the inequality of light output characteristics of individual laser diodes and the variation of ambient temperature, enabling the accurate decay determination.

An information recording and reproduction apparatus for a magnetically induced superresolution magneto-optical recording medium includes an optical head that emits a laser beam to a signal recording plane of the medium and detecting a laser beam reflected therefrom. The optical head includes a polarization plane rotary unit and a polarizing filter between a light source and an objective lens. The polarization plane rotary unit transmits the laser beam while rotating the direction of polarization of the laser beam. The polarizing filter allows the laser beam to be transmitted at the outer portion independent of the direction of polarization, and allows only the laser beam that is polarized in a particular direction to be transmitted at the inner portion. The polarization plane rotary unit is controlled so as to rotate the direction of polarization of the laser beam in a direction different from the particular direction in reproduction. Thus, the optical superresolution method is carried out with the inner portion of the laser beam for radiation blocked only in reproduction.

A magneto-optic memory and a magnetic material is described incorporating a polarized light beam directed towards a magnetic material and an analyzer for intercepting the polarized light beam after passing through the magnetic material or after being reflected by the magnetic material. The magnetic material includes a matrix of metal such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and alloys thereof and a plurality of separated phases distributed in the matrix such as EuS, EuO, EuOTb, PtMnSb, MnAs, MnBi, MnSb, CrO.sub.2, CrTe, GdN, Gd.sub.4 C, other compounds of a rare earth element and manganese compounds. Terbium or neodymium may be dissolved in the matrix of metal and in the plurality of separated phases. The invention overcomes the problem of providing a magnetic material having a Curie point above room temperature, a square perpendicular hysteresis loop at room temperature, a large magneto-optic rotation at the wavelength of interest and a deposition temperature suitable depositing on polymer substrates.

摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium is arranged so that (1) a first transparent dielectric layer, (2) a reproduction layer showing in-plane magnetization at room temperature while showing perpendicular magnetization in response to temperature rise, (3) a second transparent dielectric layer, (4) a recording layer made of perpendicular magnetization film; and (5) a protective layer are laminated on a substrate in this order. The reproduction layer has a thickness of 5 nm to 30 nm, the second transparent dielectric layer has a thickness of 6 nm to 40 nm, and the recording layer has a thickness of 20 nm to 80 nm. It is possible to separately reproduce individual recording bit even when one or more adjacent recording bits exist within the diameter of the light beam converged onto a target recording bit. This is because the information of a recording magnetic domain of a portion showing in-plane magnetization is masked.

A first write encoder encodes digital data in a first high density format. A second write encoder encodes digital data in a second low density, i.e. ANSI format. A first read decoder decodes digital data from the first format. A second read decoder decodes digital data from the second format. A disk drive receives a replaceable 90 millimeter optical disk. A read/write head reads encoded data from and writes encoded data to a 90 millimeter optical disk received by the drive. In a first mode, the first encoder is connected between a source of digital data and the read/write head, and the first decoder is connected between the read/write head and utilizing apparatus. In a second mode, the second encoder is connected between the source and the read/write head, and the second decoder is connected between the read/write head and the utilizing apparatus. Control electronics switches between the first and second modes, depending upon the format in which data is recorded on the disk received by the disk drive. An 8/9 GCR encoder and a laser pulse generator are used in the first write encoder to record data on the optical media to increase the storage capacity. Improvement in timing is accomplished with write compensation and signal equalization.

Magnetic write/read heads for writing/reading information on a recording medium passing in front of the heads include several groups of magnetic write/read heads, each group of magnetic write/read heads including several pairs of poles. Each pair of poles is separated by a head gap of an integer multiple of an elementary track width b and forms several head gaps E0 to E7. The head gaps (for example El) have a first width such that they can write across a first width of the recording medium, and the second head gaps (for example E2) have a second width less than the first width and are arranged in such a way that the second head gaps write/read an area of the recording medium superimposed on the area of the recording medium write/read by the first head gaps. The magnetic write/read heads are suitable for applications where multitrack write/read heads are required.
摘要:
In a system recording compressed video and audio signals or computer user data on a disk in the sector unit, to reproduce the data in a simple fashion at a high speed, data to be recorded on the disk is divided into data in a predetermined unit so as to add a first error correction (C1) code to each of the resultant data, which form (C1) correction blocks. Sectors are produced each including a plurality of (C1) correction blocks. Added to each (C1) correction block is a code enabling identification of a sector. To all data in the plural (C1) correction blocks, a second error correction (C2) code is added to record the resultant data on the disk to allow interleaving or deinterleaving completing in a block. The capacity of each sector is set to be substantially equal to that of a plurality of transport packets.
