    Abstract: The signal-to-noise ratio in an optical memory is improved by using separate write and read beams. The read beam has a larger diameter than the write beam at the final focusing lens so that the read beam is focused to a read light spot at the memory medium which has a diameter less than the diameter of the write spot.

    Abstract translation: 通过使用单独的写入和读取光束来提高光学存储器中的信噪比。 读取光束在最终聚焦透镜处具有比写入光束更大的直径,使得读取光束被聚焦到存储介质上的读取光点,其具有小于写入点的直径的直径。

    Abstract: In an optical mass memory utilizing Curie point writing, information is stored on a manganese bismuth film having low and high temperature crystallographic phases. The Kerr or Faraday magneto-optic rotation angle exhibited by a region of manganese bismuth having a low temperature crystallographic phase is different from the magneto-optic rotation angle exhibited by a region having the high temperature crystallographic phase. The magnetization direction of a region is sensed independent of the crystallographic phase. A magneto-optic readout system is utilized in which the extinction axis of the analyzer is set at an angle between the low temperature and the high temperature phase magneto-optic rotation angles for a ''''0'''' bit. Therefore the output from a low temperature ''''0'''' bit is identical to that of a high temperature phase ''''0'''' bit.
