摘要:
An optical disk has address recording sections each of which has a wobbled part of one of side walls of a groove. Each address recording section is formed by providing convexes of a groove in an adjacent land so as to widen the groove. With the wobbles thus provided in a concavo-convex form, address information is recorded. Besides, the address recording sections thus provided in the grooves are linearly disposed in radial directions of the optical disk. By thus arranging the optical disk on whose grooves and/or lands information is recorded, mixing of wobble frequency components in reproduced information signals does not occur, the sector method is applicable to the optical disk, and information signals of high quality can be obtained.

An optical disk substrate in which a winding groove, which is winding in accordance with address information, and a normal groove, which is not winding, are placed alternately in the radial direction as tracking guides used for tracking control. With respect to this optical disk substrate, a laser beam, which is used for forming patterns for the tracking guides, is applied while being switched alternately between the first mode that exerts oscillations in the disk radial direction in accordance with the address information and the second mode that does not exert oscillations. An optical disk has a construction in which at least a recording layer is formed on the optical disk substrate.

In a method for reproducing an optical disk of the present invention, address information of an optical disk, provided with tracking guides composed of (1) a wobbling groove wobbled in accordance with address information and (2) a normal groove which is not wobbled, is reproduced. The wobbling groove and the normal groove are alternately provided in a radius direction of the optical disk. When carrying out recording and reproducing of the optical disk, three beams composed of one main beam and two sub beams are used. The three beams are projected so that (a) the sub beams are respectively on the wobbling groove and the normal groove and (b) the main beam is on a land between the wobbling groove and the normal groove. The address information is found from reflected light of one of the sub beams. The above arrangement allows respective central portions of the sub beams to track the tracking guides. Therefore, even in the case where the optical disk is tilted or vibrated, the sub beams do not deviate totally off the tracking guides, thereby permitting to stably reproduce the address information.

An optical disk of the present invention includes a transparent dielectric film formed on a light incident side of the disk on an opposite side of an optical recording film so as to sandwich the transparent substrate therebetween, for suppressing bimetallic effects caused by a difference in thermal expansion between an optical recording film formed on an optical recording surface and the transparent substrate, whereby changes in tilt against temperature changes can be suppressed. Further, by an optimal selection of a reflectance of the transparent dielectric film, unwanted reflection due to multi-interference can be reduced at the same time.

A magneto-optical memory medium according to the present invention comprises a reproducing layer, which has in-plane magnetization at room temperature and perpendicular magnetization when heated to above a predetermined temperature by a reproducing light beam; a recording layer, which is magnetostatically coupled to the reproducing layer; and an in-plane magnetized layer, provided adjacent to the recording layer, which has a Curie temperature at the above-mentioned predetermined temperature. In this medium, at temperatures below the predetermined temperature, signals recorded at high density in the recording layer are masked, and the above-mentioned magnetostatic coupling is suppressed, by magnetic masking by the in-plane magnetized layer. At temperatures above the predetermined temperature, however, within a domain forming part of the in-plane magnetized layer, the recording layer and the reproducing layer are magnetostatically coupled, and a recording bit of the recording layer is copied and expanded to a magnetic domain in the reproducing layer. Accordingly, with this medium, by reproducing from an expanded magnetic domain of the reproducing layer, even information from recording bits recorded at high density can be reproduced with high signal quality.

In an optical disk, grooves and lands serving as recording tracks are provided, the grooves are shaped so as to have virtually the same width, and in a first region, the two side walls of each groove wind in accordance with address information. The first region of the groove is formed with its leading portion located at the same angular position as the leading portion of at least one of the first regions of the adjacent grooves. Moreover, the winding portions corresponding to respective bits of the address information are formed in a manner so as to synchronize to the adjacent grooves. With this arrangement, it becomes possible to easily detect address information from the grooves and lands, and consequently to obtain an information reproducing signal with high quality.

Featured is a recording and reproducing method of a magneto-optical recording medium including a recording layer for recording thereon information magneto-optically and a readout layer which has in-plane magnetization at room temperature and where a transition occurs from in-plane magnetization to perpendicular magnetization as temperature raises. The method includes projecting a light beam onto such a magneto-optical recording medium so as to form a perpendicularly magnetized area in the readout layer by duplication of the magnetization of said recording layer to the area. In further embodiments, the recording medium further includes an intermediate layer made of non-magnetic film formed between the readout and recording layers and the readout and recording layers are composed of rare-earth transition metal alloys such as TbFeCo (recoding layer) readout layer, made of GdFeCo (readout layer).
