摘要:
Disclosed is a method of recording information on a magnetooptical recording medium, which medium includes a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer having a lower Curie temperature and a higher coercive force at room temperature than those of the first magnetic layer. The second magnetic layer is exchange-coupled to the first magnetic layer. The first magnetic layer has a higher compensation temperature than the Curie temperature of the second magnetic layer. The method of recording information includes applying a magnetic field, which is modified in accordance with information from a magnetic head, to the medium to record information on the first magnetic layer and scanning the medium with a light beam to heat the medium to a temperature at least near the Curie temperature of the second magnetic layer so as to transfer the information recorded on the first magnetic layer to the second magnetic layer.

A magnetooptical recording/reproducing apparatus is provided with a device for determinating a power of a light beam which is emitted from a light source. In the apparatus, the light beam is irradiated on a magnetooptical recording medium while a magnetic field modulated according to a recording signal is applied to a portion on which the light beam is being irradiated. Light reflected from the medium upon the irradiation of the light beam thereto is detected by a detector, the output from which is used to reproduce the recording signal. The amplitude of the recording signal is detected from the reproduction signal. The power of the light beam to be emitted from the light source is determined on the basis of the detected amplitude of the recording signal.

A multi-level information reproducing method is provided which can increase the degree of separation between distributions of cell boundary values to thereby improve the accuracy of reproduction. Specifically, in a method of reproducing multi-level information recorded on a track of an optical information recording medium by virtually providing cells at equal intervals and by varying a width of an information pit in a track direction or an area of an information pit, a cell boundary value (a value obtained by sampling a reproduced signal when a center of a light spot is located at a boundary of cells) is corrected based on cell center values of two cells adjacent to the boundary (a value obtained by sampling a reproduced signal when the center of the light spot is located at a center of a cell), and the multi-level information is reproduced based on the corrected cell boundary value.

A method of adjusting spherical aberration correction and focus offset of a light beam. A first approximate straight line is detected indicating a first relationship between the spherical aberration correction and the focus offset according to a first evaluation index indicating a quality of cross-track signal. A second approximate straight line is detected indicating a second relationship between the spherical aberration correction and the focus offset according to a second evaluation index indicating a quality of a reproduced signal. A spherical aberration correction value and a focus offset value, to be adjusted, are determined from an intersection of the first approximate straight line and the second approximate straight line.

To provide a regenerative signal evaluation method in which the transition of polarity of a regenerative signal, or the change of polarity in a record mark sequence, is dealt with employing an index in correlation with an error ratio of binarization result by a maximum likelihood decoding. The method comprises detecting a recording series on a state transition path having a certain Euclid distance by the maximum likelihood decoding corresponding to a change of polarity of record code in the recording series, acquiring a likelihood difference between the most probable state transition path and the secondly probable state transition path from branch of state transition paths to merge of state transition paths in the detected recording series, and conducting a statistical processing for the likelihood difference individually corresponding to the change of polarity in the recording series to evaluate the quality of reproducing signal.
