摘要:
A reproducing apparatus for a magneto-optical recording medium has, at one end of a swing arm, a magneto-optical head provided with a slider and a solid immersion lens. A reproducing light beam-detecting system is installed to the other end of the swing arm. During reproduction on a magneto-optical recording medium, an alternating magnetic field is applied while radiating a reproducing light beam which is power-modulated to have a low power and a high power in synchronization with a reproducing clock. The reproducing light beam having the low power causes transfer of a magnetic domain in the information-recording layer to the reproducing layer and magnification thereof. The reproducing light beam having the high power extinguishes the magnified magnetic domain. Minute magnetic domains can be individually reproduced at high C/N.

External magnetic fields H(x) or reproducing light beams L(x) having different intensity patterns are applied to an identical recording position on a magneto-optical recording medium so that different pieces of information corresponding to the patterns are reproduced from the identical recording position. A function H(x) or L(x) is a password for obtaining the information. Only a person, who knows the function, can access specified information recorded on the magneto-optical recording medium. The function H(x) or L(x) is a function in which the magnetic field intensity or the light intensity is modulated with respect to the recording position x so that magnetic domains may be thinned out to perform reproduction at a specified cycle from continuous magnetic domains in a recording area. Other than the use for the purpose of security, reproduced C/N can be remarkably improved by performing reproduction n times while radiating a reproducing light beam PL/PH which is power-modulated so that the high power PH is applied at every cycle which is not less than n times the recording clock, to a specified magneto-optical recording medium capable of magnetic domain-magnifying reproduction.

A magneto-optical recording medium 11 has, in order from the laser irradiation side, a second auxiliary magnetic film 4, first auxiliary magnetic film 5, and magneto-optical recording film 6. First and second auxiliary magnetic films 4 and 5 change from in-plane magnetization to perpendicular magnetization when their respective critical temperatures TCR1 and TCR2 are exceeded. The Curie temperatures TC0, TC1 and TC2 of the magneto-optical recording film and the first and the second auxiliary magnetic films 4, 5 and their critical temperatures TCR1 and TCR2 satisfy the relationship: room temperature
摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium has magneto-optical recording layers (11, 12, 13) and reproducing layers (21, 22, 23). The information recorded in the reproducing layers are reproduced by means of reproducing light beams (31, 32, 33) of different wavelengths, respectively. In reproduction, magnetic domains (4) recorded in the recording layers are transferred in the reproducing layers formed on the respective recording layers, the transferred magnetic domains (5) are enlarged with an external magnetic field, and the information is reproduced. Since information is recorded and reproduced for each recording layer, the recording density is improved. Further since the reproduction signals are amplified by the magnetic domain enlargement, the C/N is improved.

摘要:
The magneto-optical recording medium has a magnetic domain magnification reproducing layer and an information recording layer. Clock marks are formed on the information recording layer, making it possible to generate a reproducing clock on the basis of these. The clock marks are detected either by irradiating directly with light of wavelength &lgr;2(&lgr;1≠&lgr;2), being different from the light of wavelength &lgr;1 which is used for reproducing the recording marks, or by applying a direct-current magnetic field, transferring and enlarging the clock marks on to the magnetic domain magnification reproducing layer, and detecting the reproduction signals from this magnetic domain magnification reproducing layer. Since the reproducing clock is in exact synchronisation with the recording marks, it is eminently suitable as a clock for pulse-modulated reproducing light and reproducing magnetic fields used when reproducing the reproducing layer.

A plate spring is provided on a back surface of a shutter of a cartridge. When the shutter is closed, the plate spring presses a disk in a cartridge case against an inner wall surface of a lower case so that the disk is immovable in the case. When the shutter is open, the plate spring is retracted into a space between an inner surface of the shutter and a surface of an upper case. The disk is supported immovably and uniformly in the cartridge. Therefore, deformation such as warpage of the disk hardly occurs. Even when the cartridge is stored in any posture, it is possible to avoid deformation such as warpage and flexure of the disk in the cartridge during the storage.

摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium comprises, on a substrate, a dielectric layer, a GdFeCo reproducing layer, a non-magnetic layer, and a TbFeCo recording layer. Upon reproduction, a DC magnetic field Hex is applied in the recording direction, and a reproducing light beam is radiated while being modulated to have a low power and a high power in synchronization with a reproducing clock. The reproducing layer is a magnetic film which changes from in-plane magnetization into perpendicular magnetization at a critical temperature Tcr, which has a compensation temperature Tcomp between room temperature and a Curie temperature Tc, and which satisfies Troom
