A method for forming micropatterns includes forming a thin film consisting of a single layer or of plural layers on a substrate, irradiating an energy beam to the thin film to elevate the temperature of a region to a predetermined temperature or higher to thereby modify the region of the thin film, and patterning the thin film at least in such a manner to leave over the modified region.

A magneto-optical recording medium with a reproducing layer that exhibits in-plane magnetization at room temperature and that comes to exhibit perpendicular magnetization as temperature rises. The second shielding layer is used to block the magnetization of record bits other than a record bit to be reproduced from being copied on a signal reproducing area in the reproducing layer. Consequently, even in the case of high-density record bits in the recording layer, only the magnetization of the record bit to be reproduced is copied on the reproducing layer. Therefore, the application of the magneto-optical recording medium makes it possible to produce superior reproducing signals even in the case where the records bits with high density are formed on the recording layer.

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.

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.

An optical disk includes a plurality of disk sheets which are laminated, and each of which has a recording face on one of the surfaces and a flat back surface, wherein the plurality of disk sheets are laminated by adhesive layers in such a manner that between adjacent two disk sheets, a back surface of one of the disk sheets, on the opposite side of the surface where the recording face is formed, faces the disk surface of the other disk sheet. The foregoing structure realizes an optical disk of desirable recording/reproducing characteristics, which is flat and has a fixed interval between recording faces, and which permits the problems of coma aberration, spherical aberration, etc., to be suppressed.
摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium comprising a readout layer, an intermediate layer, and a recording layer. Two light beams having high and low light intensities respectively are applied while applying an external magnetic field. The magnetization direction of the recording layer is changed according to information, by reversing the sub-lattice magnetic moment of the readout layer in the case of the high light intensity. The intermediate layer exhibits a perpendicular magnetization during the irradiation, and also exhibits an in-plane magnetization at room temperature. Since it is not necessary to provide a device for generating a magnetic field for initializing every recording, it is possible to avoid increase in the size of the recording and reproducing apparatus. Moreover, the magnetization direction of the readout layer can be easily controlled with an external magnetic field, and the optical modulation overwriting property can be stabilized.
