摘要： A magneto-optical recording medium is composed of a reproducing layer, a recording layer, and an initializing layer, which are laminated in this order. The reproducing layer is provided so that a light beam is projected thereon so as to reproduce information. The recording layer is provided so that information is recorded therein and the information is copied to the reproducing layer at a readout temperature. The initializing layer is provided so that the reproducing layer is initialized at room temperature. Non-magnetic layers are provided between the reproducing layer and the recording layer and between the recording layer and the initializing layer, respectively, so that such two layers are not exchange-coupled each other. The recording layer has a compensation temperature of room temperature, while the initializing layer has a compensation temperature of the readout temperature, which is achieved by temperature rise caused by the projection of the light beam. With such an arrangement, an external magnetic field for initializing the reproducing layer and an external magnetic field for reproduction-use can be omitted, thereby preventing a recording device from becoming large in size, as well as enhancing the recording density of the recording layer.

摘要： A magnetic recording medium having a recording layer made up of a ferrimagnetic material whose compensation temperature is included within room temperatures and an information recording-reproduction method using the magnetic recording medium. During recording, while a light beam is projected on the recording layer so as to raise the temperature of a recording portion, information is recorded by applying a signal magnetic field from a magnetic head. During reproduction, while a light beam is projected on a reproducing portion of the recording layer so as to raise the temperature thereof, information is reproduced by detecting leakage flux from the reproducing portion by the magnetic head. Thus, during reproduction, no magnetic flux is generated from other portions of the recording layer not irradiated by the light beam. With the arrangement, crosstalk due to leakage flux from adjoining tracks not irradiated by the optical beam can be eliminated. Therefore, track pitches can be made narrower so as to increase recording density of the magnetic recording medium. Further, since crosstalk from adjoining tracks is eliminated, a high S/N can be achieved.

摘要： A magneto-optical recording disk includes a recording layer for recording information as a mark and a reproduction layer, laminated with the recording layer, to which magnetization direction of the recording layer is transferred at high temperatures, wherein the reproduction layer and the recording layer are magnetostatically coupled and are not exchange-coupled. The information is read out by using a temperature distribution generated by a light beam for reproduction. The recording layer has, on a side thereof to which the reproduction layer is not provided, a supplementary back layer of a soft magnetic material composed of ferromagnetic material. The magneto-optical disk is designed to generate good CNR and thereby improves recording density even when a short mark is reproduced.

摘要： 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.
