摘要:
A magnetic recording medium comprises a first magnetic film and a second magnetic film on a substrate. The second magnetic film is composed of a magnetic material preferred for recording and reproduction, and the first magnetic film is composed of a ferrimagnetic material excellent in thermal stability. Information is recorded in the second magnetic film by using a magnetic head. The first magnetic film is heated by being irradiated with a laser beam to lower coercivity, and the information in the second magnetic film is magnetically transferred to the first magnetic film. The recorded information is stabilized, because the first magnetic film is excellent in thermal stability. The magnetic recording medium is highly resistant to thermal fluctuation, and it has high reliability. A magnetic domain of about 0.1 μm, formed by magnetic recording at a super high density of 50 Gb/inch2, is successfully and stably allowed to exist.

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.

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.

Disclosed is a magneto-optical recording medium which comprises a transparent substrate and, provided on the substrate, a magneto-optical recording film comprising a perpendicular magnetic film based on rare earth metal-transition metal and an auxiliary magnetic film having spontaneous magnetization which exerts, between itself and the magneto-optical recording film, an exchange coupling force on each other and in which the auxiliary magnetic film used is a magnetic film which readily rotates its magnetization direction toward the external magnetic field in the neighborhood of the Curie temperature of the magneto-optical recording film and has a squareness ratio of not more than 1 in the neighborhood of the Curie temperature, and a process for producing the magneto-optical recording medium.

A magneto-optical recording medium and a method for recording and reproduction thereon are provided in order to reproduce information recorded by multi-valued recording at a high S/N ratio. Disclosed is a magneto-optical recording medium including two magnetic layers capable of four-valued recording based on four combined magnetization states. Magnitudes of reproduction signals concerning the four magnetization states, obtained upon reproduction at a wavelength λ1, are different from those obtained upon reproduction at a wavelength λ2. The two magnetic layers, on which a signal (a) is recorded, are irradiated with light beams having the wavelengths λ1 and λ2 respectively. Signals (d), (e) reproduced from respective reflected light beams are sliced by using at least one slice level to obtain two-valued or higher multi-valued reproduction signals respectively. The two-valued or higher multi-valued reproduction signals (f), (g) from the respective wavelengths are mutually subjected to logical operation to reproduce recorded information (i).
摘要:
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 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

A magneto-optical recording medium and a method for recording and reproduction thereon are provided in order to reproduce information recorded by multi-valued recording at a high S/N ratio. Disclosed is a magneto-optical recording medium including two magnetic layers capable of four-valued recording based on four combined magnetization states. Magnitudes of reproduction signals concerning the four magnetization states, obtained upon reproduction at a wavelength .lambda..sub.1, are different from those obtained upon reproduction at a wavelength .lambda..sub.2. The two magnetic layers, on which a signal (a) is recorded, are irradiated with light beams having the wavelengths .lambda..sub.1 and .lambda..sub.2 respectively. Signals (d), (e) reproduced from respective reflected light beams are sliced by using at least one slice level to obtain two-valued or higher multi-valued reproduction signals respectively. The two-valued or higher multi-valued reproduction signals (f), (g) from the respective wavelengths are mutually subjected to logical operation to reproduce recorded information (i).
