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.

摘要:
A non-magnetic intermediate layer is provided between a reproductive layer and a recording layer. The reproductive layer is composed of a first reproductive layer and a second reproductive layer. When the first reproductive layer has a temperature that is higher than a first critical temperature, its stable magnetic domain width becomes smaller than a recording magnetic domain width so that the magnetization is reversed. When the second reproductive layer has a temperature that is higher than a second critical temperature, its stable magnetic domain width becomes larger than the recording magnetic domain width so that the reversed magnetic domain is collapsed. The first critical temperature is lower than the second critical temperature. A reproductive output having abrupt rising and falling can be obtained by the generation and the collapse of the reverse magnetic domain on the reproductive layer. For this reason, higher density recording required for larger capacity can be achieved.

A magneto-optical recording apparatus of the present invention is provided with an objective lens for focusing a light beam onto a magneto-optical recording medium. A pair of magnets is disposed on opposite sides of the magneto-optical recording medium and apply a writing magnetic field onto a portion of the magneto-optical recording medium that has been irradiated by the light beam while applying an initializing magnetic field greater than the writing magnetic field onto a portion apart from that irradiated by the light beam.
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.

摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium includes a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer being laminated. When information is to be recorded on the first magnetic layer, first, a magnetization direction in the second magnetic layer is arranged in one direction with an application of an initialization magnetic field. Then, an intensity modulated light beam is projected while applying thereto a recording magnetic field so as to change the magnetization direction in the second magnetic layer. Thereafter, the magnetization direction in the second magnetic layer is copied to the first magnetic layer, thereby recording information. The first magnetic layer has a magnetization in an intermediate direction between a perpendicular direction and an in-plane direction at room temperature, while has a perpendicular magnetization at above a predetermined temperature. Therefore, a smaller exchange coupling force is exerted from the first magnetic layer to the second magnetic layer at room temperature, thereby enabling a rewriting information with a smaller initialization magnetic field compared with the conventional method, thereby achieving a reduction in size of the apparatus and power conservation.

A magneto-optical recording medium includes first, second, and third magnetic layers laminated in this order. The first magnetic layer, made of a rare earth-transition metal alloy, has a great coercive force at room temperature and is transition metal rich in a temperature range between room temperature and a Curie temperature of the first magnetic layer. The second magnetic layer, made of a rare earth-transition metal alloy, has a Curie temperature higher than that of the first magnetic layer and is rare-earth metal rich at room temperature. The third magnetic layer, made of a rare earth-transition metal alloy, has a Curie temperature higher than that of the first magnetic layer, and a compensation temperature falling in a temperature range between room temperature and the Curie temperature of the third magnetic layer. A magnetization of the third magnetic layer is transferred to the first magnetic layer at a temperature higher than room temperature. A perpendicular magnetic anisotropy Ku3 satisfies 0.3.times.10.sup.6 erg/cc
