摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium which includes a reproducing layer. When a laser beam is irradiated to the magneto-optical recording medium, a magnetic domain in a recording layer is transferred, through enlargement, to a reproducing layer increased in temperature. The magneto-optical recording medium further includes a calibration area that has a calibration magnetic domain recorded in a predetermined pattern in the recording layer. In a reproducing apparatus, a laser beam of an optical head is adjusted in output depending upon a reproduced signal obtained by reproducing the calibration magnetic domain.

An optical pickup device for an AS-MO disk, a DVD and a CD includes a dual wavelength semiconductor laser with first and second oscillation devices, a polarization plane rotary unit selectively rotating a plane of polarization of a laser beam 90°, and a polarization selective diffraction grating passing a laser beam straight forward or dividing a laser beam into three beams depending upon the direction of polarization. The optical pickup device operates by the DPP tracking system where three laser beams are directed for an AS-MO disk, and by the DPD tracking system where a single laser beam is directed for a DVD or a CD. As a result, a signal can be reproduced from an AS-MO disk, a DVD, or a CD having different tracking systems.

A magneto-optical recording medium includes a recording layer and a reproducing layer respectively formed by magnetic layers on a substrate. A record magnetic domain is formed within the recording layer by using a magnetic head, which is transferred into a reproducing layer by irradiating a laser beam upon reproduction. The physical length in recording a unit bit is taken as a unit domain length. Where the unit domain length is 1T and “1” is recorded in 1T, “1” is recorded in a former half 1T/2 and “0” is in a latter half 1T/2 by applying one period of an alternating magnetic field to the unit domain length.

A magnetic head is configured of a core and a coil wound around the core and passing current through the coil in a variable direction allows the core to have an edge generating an alternating magnetic field Hex1 and another edge generating an alternating magnetic field Hex2. Alternating magnetic fields Hex1 and Hex2 are applied to the respective edges. Furthermore, a laser beam LB1 is directed such that its optical axis L01 matches the edge receiving the alternating magnetic field Hex1, and a laser beam LB2 is directed such that its optical axis L02 matches the edge receiving the alternating magnetic field Hex2. A first magneto-optical signal detected through the alternating magnetic field Hex1 and the laser beam LB1 and a second magneto-optical signal detected through the alternating magnetic field Hex2 and the laser beam LB2 are composited together. As such, an alternating magnetic field can be applied to a magneto-optical recording medium at a predetermined angle to an in-plane direction of the recording medium to accurately enlarge a magnetic domains for reproduction.

A laser beam is directed from an optical head (40) while an alternating magnetic field is applied from a magnetic head (52). A reproduced signal from the optical head (40) is input to a reproduced signal detecting circuit (45) through a reproduced signal amplifying circuit (41). The detected signal (CK) of discontinuous regions provided at prescribed intervals in the groove of a magneto-optical recording medium (1) is input to an external synchronous signal generating circuit (46) and, in response, an external synchronous signal (SYN) is generated. In synchronization with the external synchronous signal (SYN), the reproduced signal detecting circuit (45) calculates a difference between the reproduced signal generated when a magnetic field for magnetic domain magnification is applied and the reproduced signal generated when a magnetic field for magnetic domain erasure is applied. The difference is detected as a reproduced signal (RF). Accordingly, low frequency “winding” included in the reproduced signal from the optical head (40) is offset, resulting in a correct reproduced signal (RF).

A reproducing apparatus reproduces a signal recorded in a magneto-optical disk. The magneto-optical disk includes a layered structure having a recording layer, an intermediate layer and a reproducing layer. Laser light is illuminated from an optical head to the magneto-optical disk in such an intensity that no magnetic domain is transferred from the recording layer to the reproducing layer only by the laser light. In this state, alternating magnetic field is applied through a magnetic head to the magneto-optical disk, thereby concurrently causing transfer and expansion of a magnetic domain to the reproducing layer. As a result, transfer of the magnetic domain is effected with expansion.

When recording a recorded signal consisting of “01011001110” in a magnetooptical recording medium, (1,1) corresponding to a domain of 2T is converted to (1,0,1), and (0,0) is converted to (0,1,0) in the recorded signal. In other words, the first “1” of (1,1) is converted to unit bits “1,0” and the first “0” of (0,0) is converted to unit bits “0,1”. Similarly, the first “1” of (1,1,1) corresponding to a domain of 3T is converted to unit bits “1,0”, and the second “1” is converted to unit bits “1,0”. “1” or “0” of the final unit bit is not converted but recorded as such. Consequently, a signal can be correctly reproduced by extension ally transferring domains having different domain lengths from a recording layer to a reproducing layer under the same reproducing conditions.
