摘要:
An optical disc recording medium is irradiated with laser light having a predetermined laser power to deform an irradiated portion of a substrate into a protruding portion. Since the substrate is deformed so as to have protruding portions, a reflecting layer arranged on the substrate is also deformed so as to have protruding portions. For a pit, the deformed state of a protruding portion allows to obtain a reproduced signal level equivalent to that in each land. For a land, the deformed state of a protruding portion allows to obtain a reproduced signal level equivalent to that in each pit. Since the deformed state of each protruding portion can be controlled on the basis of the power of the laser light for irradiation, pit-to-land deformation and land-to-pit deformation can be performed by setting the laser power. Thus, recorded data can be rewritten on the optical disc recording medium recorded with the data using a combination of pits and lands formed in the substrate.

A method for manufacturing a magneto-optical recording medium in which reading of recorded information is performed through domain wall displacement in a reproduction layer is provided, in which magnetic separation of groove side-wall portions is performed more reliably; as a result a magneto-optical recording medium with satisfactory recording and reproduction characteristics can be provided. The method is to manufacture a magneto-optical recording medium in which on a substrate 1 having grooves 12 at least a reproduction layer and a recording layer, each of which is formed of magnetic layers, are deposited and recorded information is reproduced through domain wall displacement in the reproduction layer; and the method includes a first annealing process in which, after depositing at least the reproduction layer and recording layer on the substrate 1 on which are formed lands 11 and grooves 12, only side-wall portions 13 between adjacent lands 11 and grooves 12 are irradiated with laser light L1, and a second magnetization annealing process in which regions including adjacent side-wall portions 13 and lands between side-wall portions 13 are irradiated with laser light L2 having a spot diameter greater than the spot diameter of the laser light in the first annealing process, while applying an external magnetic field Hex.

摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium includes a first magnetic layer (reproduction layer), a second magnetic layer (control layer), a third magnetic layer (blocking layer), and a fourth magnetic layer (recording layer) having respective Curie temperatures TC1, TC2, TC3 and TC4. The Curie temperatures of the layers satisfy the relationships TC1>TC3>TC2 and TC4>TC3. In addition, the magnetic anisotropy of the third magnetic layer Ku3 is greater than that of the second magnetic layer Ku2. A magnetic domain wall in the first magnetic layer in front of the spot irradiated by the reproduction light in the direction of travel is displaced toward the peak temperature portion so that a recorded domain is expanded. Displacement in the spot direction of a domain wall in the first magnetic layer behind the reproduction light spot in the direction of travel is suppressed. The second and third magnetic layers control the magnetic exchange coupling between the first and fourth magnetic layers.

An optical head is used to record and playback information to and from a magneto-optical storage medium having a displacement layer, a disconnecting layer, and a recording layer that are stacked in this order. The displacement layer is defined by a perpendicular magnetic film that is relatively smaller in domain-wall coercivity and that is greater in domain-wall mobility than the recording layer and the disconnecting layer is defined by a magnetic layer that is lower in Curie temperature than the displacement layer and the recording layer. An optimum offset value is set for causing tracking of the optical head to a recording track provided on the magneto-optical storage medium.

An optical disk is disclosed. The optical disk includes a substrate having lands and pits arranged and formed along a recording track so that data are recorded; a reflective film deposited on the substrate; and a protective layer formed on the reflective film, where an edge of the pits in the array direction is irradiated with light from a side of the protective layer to deform the pits, so that pit data are rewritten and recorded, and the reflective film includes an alloy formed of AlFeX having Al as a main component, where X contains any one or more of Ti, Cu, Au, Pt, and Si.
