摘要:
Disclosed herein is an information recording-reproducing method, wherein a domain wall is displaced on a recording medium in which information has been recorded, thereby conducting the reproduction of the information, the method comprising, projecting a light spot on the recording medium, relatively moving the light spot and the recording medium, applying a magnetic field modulated according to the information to the site projected by the light spot to form record marks the maximum mark length of which is at most 0.15 times the spot size of the light spot and displacing the domain wall from the front to the back of the moving direction of the light spot by a temperature distribution formed on the recording medium by the light spot, and at the same time detecting the displacement of the domain wall from reflected light of the light spot, thereby detecting the record marks.

The apparatus includes an optical system for irradiating the recording medium with a light spot of an oval shape having a longer axis and a shorter axis, of which the longer axis is substantially parallel to the information track and a ratio of the longer axis to the shorter axis is at least 1.4, and a movement device for performing relative movement between the light spot and the recording medium.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method of recording information on a magnetooptical recording medium, which medium includes a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer having a lower Curie temperature and a higher coercive force at room temperature than those of the first magnetic layer. The second magnetic layer is exchange-coupled to the first magnetic layer. The first magnetic layer has a higher compensation temperature than the Curie temperature of the second magnetic layer. The method of recording information includes applying a magnetic field, which is modified in accordance with information from a magnetic head, to the medium to record information on the first magnetic layer and scanning the medium with a light beam to heat the medium to a temperature at least near the Curie temperature of the second magnetic layer so as to transfer the information recorded on the first magnetic layer to the second magnetic layer.

An optical information reproduction method includes the steps of detecting, in at least two adjacent virtual cells provided in a recording/reproduction area of an optical information medium, at least two cell center signal levels and a cell boundary signal level between the cell center signal levels and acquiring phase error information of a reproduction signal based on a difference between the detected cell boundary signal level and an ideal cell boundary signal level obtained in advance and on a gradient of reproduction signal levels corresponding to the detected cell center signal levels.
摘要:
A multi-level information reproducing method is provided which can increase the degree of separation between distributions of cell boundary values to thereby improve the accuracy of reproduction. Specifically, in a method of reproducing multi-level information recorded on a track of an optical information recording medium by virtually providing cells at equal intervals and by varying a width of an information pit in a track direction or an area of an information pit, a cell boundary value (a value obtained by sampling a reproduced signal when a center of a light spot is located at a boundary of cells) is corrected based on cell center values of two cells adjacent to the boundary (a value obtained by sampling a reproduced signal when the center of the light spot is located at a center of a cell), and the multi-level information is reproduced based on the corrected cell boundary value.

An optical information recording method includes the steps of irradiating laser light onto cells provided on a track of an optical information recording medium, recording on the optical information recording medium multilevel information including information of a level zero for which no information pit is formed, by changing, for each of the cells, widths in a track direction or sizes of information pits in the cells, and, for recording the information of a level zero, irradiating the laser light at a power that is greater than an erasing power for erasing the information pits and that does not permit formation of the information pits.

The present invention provides a multi-level information recording/reproducing method of recording or reproducing multi-level information by virtually setting cells at constant regular intervals on a track of an optical information medium where information is recorded or reproduced with a light spot and by varying an information pit width in a direction of the track or an information pit area, comprising the steps of: detecting a reproduced signal by radiating a light spot onto the track; detecting a cell border value by sampling the reproduced signal when the center of the light spot falls on a border between one cell and its following cell; and judging multi-level information of the following cell based on the cell border value.
摘要:
In a magnetooptical information recording-reproducing apparatus, recording of information is performed such that a laser beam is irradiated on a magnetooptical information recording medium via an optical head while applying a magnetic field to the beam irradiated portion of the recording medium onto which information pits are formed by utilizing the difference in the direction of magnetization thereof. The magnetooptical information recording-reproducing apparatus is provided with a band-like shielding plate which is arranged in an optical path of a reflected light from the recording medium upon application of the laser beam thereto in a direction perpendicular to tracks of the recording medium. Reproduction of information recorded on the recording medium is effected by detecting the beam which is not shielded by the shielding plate by use of a photodetector.
摘要:
An optical information recording/reproducing apparatus is disclosed. In the apparatus, a light beam polarized in a predetermined direction is irradiated onto an opto-magnetic recording medium to which a pre-determined magnetic field is applied. The light beam from the recording medium is condensed by the optical device and the condenced light beam is detected by the two-division detector. The two-division detector has a division line extending in a direction perpendicular to tracks on the recording medium. According to the apparatus, crosstalks and jitters can be eliminated and reproduction with high reliability can be realized.
