A sliding part of a magnetic-field generator is configured to slide above and spaced from a surface of a loaded magneto-optical disk in a floating manner. A magnetic-field generating part, which provides a magnetic field to the magneto-optical disk, includes a magnetic pole disposed on a side of the sliding part such that the magnetic pole and the sliding part are positioned adjacent to each other in a radial direction of the surface of the loaded magneto-optical disk and such that the magnetic pole is located closer to a periphery of the magneto-optical disk than the sliding part. An entire flat end surface of the magnetic pole confronting the surface of the magneto-optical disk is generally parallel to and recedes from a slide surface of the sliding part such that the entire flat end surface is spaced further from the surface of the magneto-optical disk than the slide surface of the sliding part.

A magneto-optical disk unit has a first magnetic-field generator for generating a magnetic field corresponding to a frequency in a recording signal frequency band and a second magnetic-field generator for generating DC magnetic fields of both north-seeking and south-seeking poles in a non-contact manner with a loaded magneto-optical disk. The first magnetic-field generator has a slider part for sliding over a loaded magneto-optical disk in a floating manner using an aerodynamic effect. The unit further has a transfer driver for moving the first and second magnetic-field generators in a direction parallel to the loaded magneto-optical disk and a rotary plate for vertically moving the first magnetic-field generator. The unit also has a disk judging circuit for judging whether the loaded magneto-optical disk is of a magnetic-field-modulation overwritable type (first type) or an erase-operation-required type (second type), and a controller for controlling the rotary plate to bring the first magnetic-field generator into contact with the loaded disk when this disk is of the first type and to keep it raised from the disk when this disk is of the second type. The second magnetic-field generator is used when the disk is judged to be of the second type.
摘要:
A disk-shaped storage medium allowing the redundancy of an address part to be reduced and data to be recorded with a higher density, and a tracking method using the same are provided. In a disk-shaped storage medium in which a track is divided into a plurality of areas and address data are positioned in the plurality of areas, error detection codes are added to data common to adjacent tracks of the address data for identifying the data common to adjacent tracks. This enables the synchronous process to data in reproducing the address data to be carried out without using a unique synchronization pattern.

A reading method for a magneto-optical recording medium is provided, irradiating laser light as a reading beam and using a magnetic head. High density and high transmission rate are possible and a correct reading can be performed according to the length of recording marks by reading the magneto-optical recording medium while impressing a magnetic field with an orientation promoting the translation of magnetic domain walls. In the magnetic super resolution type magneto-optical recording medium, which attains a signal only from one portion of the irradiation domain of the reading beam and has at least a recording layer and a reading layer on a substrate, the focused laser light is irradiated as a reading beam and the magnetic field is modulated, using the magnetic head, which is equipped with a slider and glides or floats on the recording medium. The magneto-optical recording medium is read, while impressing a magnetic field 161 that accelerates at least the transcription of the magnetization of the recording layer into the reading layer.
摘要:
A magneto-optical recording medium, including a recording layer, a transfer control layer magnetically coupled to the recording layer, and a reproduction layer. The recording layer includes a recording magnetic domain in which information is recorded by a magnetization direction vertical to the surface of the film. The reproduction layer includes a reproduction magnetic domain in which information in the recording layer is transferred and formed as a magnetization direction by magnetic coupling. The direction of magnetization of the recording magnetic domain of the recording layer and the direction of magnetization of the transfer control layer corresponding to the recording magnetic domain are in opposite directions in at least part of the range of temperatures less than a transfer temperature where the reproduction magnetic domain is transferred to the reproduction layer. The Curie point temperature of the transfer control layer is higher than this transfer temperature.

An optical disk includes at least one region along a radial direction, and a plurality of tracks provided in the at least one region. The at least one region contains address regions radially positioned on the plurality of tracks. In the address regions, data which is common between two adjacent tracks of the plurality of tracks is recorded at positions aligned along the same radial direction on the two adjacent tracks, and data which is not common between the two adjacent tracks is recorded at positions along different radial directions on the two adjacent tracks.
摘要:
A disklike storage medium on which information is recorded at higher density by reducing the redundancy of the address part and a tracking method using the medium are disclosed. The disklike storage medium where a track is divided into areas and address data is recorded in the areas is so adapted that an error detecting code for identifying the data common to adjacent tracks out of the address data is added to the common data. Thus, a data synchronization processing performed when the address data is reproduced is realized without any special synchronization pattern.
