摘要:
An optical memory element includes stripe-shaped grooves formed directly on a glass substrate. To manufacture the optical memory element, a resist film is disposed on the glass substrate, and a groove pattern is formed in the resist film. A reactive ion etching is conducted through the groove pattern formed in the resist film so as to form the guide grooves in the glass substrate. After removing the resist film from the glass substrate, a magneto-optical recording layer is formed on the glass substrate.

A magneto-optic memory device includes a transparent dielectric film of a non-oxygen containing nitride material deposited by sputtering on a substrate such as glass, a rare-earth/transition metal alloy recording medium deposited by sputtering on the dielectric film and a reflecting film deposited over the recording medium with or without an intervening transparent dielectric film of non-oxygen containing nitride material. This arrangement prevents the recording medium from being oxidized, and stablizes coercive force characteristics and information recording characteristics of the recording medium.

A magneto-optic memory element includes a transparent substrate, a first transparent nitride film, a GdTbFe recording layer, a second transparent nitride film, and a reflection film formed in this order. The first transparent nitride film has an index of refraction higher than that of the second transparent nitride film. In a preferred form, the first transparent nitride film is a SiN film having the index of refraction of about 2.0, and the second transparent nitride film is an AlN film having the index of refraction of about 1.8 to 1.9.
摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium including a base; a readout layer formed on the base; a recording layer formed on the readout layer; and an auxiliary recording layer formed on the recording layer, each of the readout layer, recording layer and auxiliary recording layer being made of an alloy of rare-earth metal and transition metal showing ferrimagnetism. The alloy composition of each layer is determined so that the recording layer has a Curie temperature lower than Curie temperatures of the readout layer and the auxiliary recording layer and has a coercive force higher than coercive forces of the readout layer and the auxiliary recording layer at room temperature and that, when the temperature of the recording layer is raised to near its Curie temperature while perpendicularly applying a uniform recording magnetic field to each layer, a sublattice magnetic moment of the rare-earth metal of the readout layer and a sublattice magnetic moment of the rare-earth metal of the auxiliary recording layer are antiparallel to each other. And, a method of recording information on the magneto-optical recording medium. This structure enables overwriting by light-intensity modulation without using an initializing magnetic field.

摘要:
An optical recording element comprising a recording medium which includes an information recording area formed at every unit in a non-continuous condition, the recording medium further including sample pits disposed at intervals of a fixed distance for providing basic information about the locations of the recording units in same track. Each sample pit comprises a plurality of pits disposed next to the sequence of the recording units so that the spacing between the pits differs from the spacing between the recording units. At least one of the plurality of pits is a long-sized inclined pit which is inclined at an angle in the range of 6.degree. to 80.degree. to a recording track. A driving system for driving the optical recording element for recording information in the non-continuous recording area or erasing information stored therein with a light beam the output of which is varied as required and checking whether said recording or erasing has been correctly performed, within a very short time in which the light beam passes through the non-continuous recording area. By using the optical recording element in combination with its driving system, the processing speed for reducing, erasing and verifying these functions can be greatly improved and the irradiating position of the light beam at every recording unit can be correctly controlled.
摘要:
Double sided optical memory disks are produced by dropping a viscous adhesive material hardenable by ultraviolet radiation at predetermined longitudinal intervals onto an elongated cloth material of uniform thickness thereby causing the adhesive material to become absorbed by and contained in the cloth material, thereafter placing this cloth material sandwichedly between two optical disk pieces each containing a recording layer, thereafter applying pressure between these pieces such that the sandwiching pieces remain separated uniformly by a predetermined separation distance, and thereafter applying ultraviolet radiation to and thereby hardening the adhesive material while the disk pieces are maintained at the uniform separation distance.

A photo-mask which is used for the production of a substrate for an optical memory element includes a reflective film formed over an ultraviolet non-transmissive film on a substrate. Alternatively, a multi-layer dielectric film which is not transmissive to light of wavelength about 400 nm but transmissive to light of wavelength about 450 nm is formed on a substrate.

The method of the present invention is for recording, reproducing, and deleting information on and from an optical disk including a plurality of tracks each having M guide grooves (M is an integer equal to or larger than 2) and M-1 land(s) interposed between the adjacent guide grooves, at least one of the land(s) having a group of pits for producing address information. The method includes the step of: focusing light beams on the respective guide grooves and land(s) for effecting the recording, reproduction, and deletion of information. Such an optical disk is also provided.
