Featured is a recording and reproducing method of a magneto-optical recording medium including a recording layer for recording thereon information magneto-optically and a readout layer which has in-plane magnetization at room temperature and where a transition occurs from in-plane magnetization to perpendicular magnetization as temperature raises. The method includes projecting a light beam onto such a magneto-optical recording medium so as to form a perpendicularly magnetized area in the readout layer by duplication of the magnetization of said recording layer to the area. In further embodiments, the recording medium further includes an intermediate layer made of non-magnetic film formed between the readout and recording layers and the readout and recording layers are composed of rare-earth transition metal alloys such as TbFeCo (recoding layer) readout layer, made of GdFeCo (readout layer).

Featured is a recording and reproducing method for recording and reproducing information on and from a recording medium. The medium includes a base having a property that a light can be transmitted therethrough, a readout layer formed on the base, which has an in-plane magnetization at room temperature, whereas, a transition occurs from in-plane magnetization to perpendicular magnetization as temperature rises and a recording layer formed on said readout layer for recording thereon information magneto-optically. A groove for guiding a light beam is formed on a readout layer side of the base and a groove width is set substantially equal to a land width formed between grooves. The recording layer on the grooves and the recording layer on lands are used in recording and reproducing information. Further a light beam is incident on a converging lens of an optical head, the light beam having a larger diameter &ohgr; than an aperture &agr; of the converging lens for converging the light beam on a predetermined position of the magneto-optical recording medium.

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.

A magneto-optical disk, which possesses a disc-shaped substrate and a recording layer composed of a perpendicular magnetization film that is formed on the substrate, characterized in having: an area wherein magnetic domains having an upward magnetization and magnetic domains having a downward magnetization are alternately aligned along at least one circuit of the disk, the area being formed on the recording layer, the length of the magnetic domains having the upward magnetization being virtually equal to the length of the magnetic domains having the downward magnetization. This invention also has a reproducing method which is characterized in that, when information is reproduced by projecting a light beam onto the magneto-optical recording disk, the intensity of the light beam is adjusted so as to maximize the amplitude of a reproduced signal that is obtained from the area. With the above arrangement, a high-quality reproduced signal can be obtained independent of the characteristics of individual magneto-optical disks.

A magneto-optical recording and reproducing device is provided with a magneto-optical disk for reproducing recorded information using light, a semiconductor laser, an objective lens for converging a light beam emitted from the semiconductor laser onto the magneto-optical disk and a light interrupting member for interrupting a portion of a light beam before it is incident on the objective lens. The magneto-optical disk is composed of a readout layer which is predominant in in-plane magnetization, and in which a transition occurs to be predominant in perpendicular magnetization as temperature thereof is raised and a recording layer for recording thereon information using a perpendicular magnetization. In this arrangement, since the light interrupting member is provided, a light spot can be made smaller, thereby improving a recording density. Moreover, even when temperature of the readout layer is raised due to a side robe generated by the light interrupting member, in-plane magnetization is maintained in the readout layer. Thus, interference by unwanted reproducing signals due to the side robe can be prevented, thereby improving a reproducing signal quality.

A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus using a recording medium made of a ferrimagnetic material, comprises a magnetic head for magnetically recording information on a recording area of a selected information recording track on a recording medium having a plurality of tracks and for magnetically reproducing the information from the recording medium, the magnetic head has a width larger than that of the width of the selected information recording track of the recording medium. For recording, light beams are radiated from a first light source on the recording area of the selected information recording track upon which recording is to be performed tracks to raise the temperature of the irradiated area to approximately a Curie temperature so as to allow recording only on that area. For reproduction, light beams are radiated from another light source onto areas on both sides of on a second area of the recording medium, located on both sides of the selected information recording track, to raise the temperature of the second irradiated areas to approximately a magnetic compensation temperature so as to allow reproduction only from the desired track, thus preventing crosstalk from the side tracks.

摘要:
A recording and reproducing device for a magneto-optical card includes an optical head for irradiating a magneto-optical recording medium of a magneto-optical card placed into the device with a laser beam. A magnetic field generator applies a biased magnetic field to the magneto-optical recording medium, and an optical system manipulating mechanism for the optical system of the above-mentioned optical head varies the spot irradiated by the laser beam. The optical head is fixed to the main frame of the device. The magneto-optical card is also supported where it is irradiated by the laser beam emitted from the optical head. The magneto-optical card is moved in a plane parallel to the surface of the magneto-optical card for rough searching and then a part of or the whole magnetic field generator is moved to come into contact with the magneto-optical card to stop the vibration of the magneto-optical card. The spot to be irradiated by the laser beam is then varied by means of the optical system of the optical head.
