摘要： A magneto-optical recording medium comprising a readout layer and a recording layer has a relationship that an external magnetic field H1 is smaller than an external magnetic field H4, where the H1 is a minimum external magnetic field necessary to make a magnetization direction of the readout layer direct to the direction reverse to a magnetization direction of the recording layer substantially at the room temperature, and the H4 is a maximum external magnetic field necessary to make the magnetization direction of the readout layer direct to the direction same as the magnetization direction of the recording layer at an high temperature not lower than a predetermined temperature. Moreover, the magneto-optical disk is provided, between the readout layer and the recording layer, with an intermediate layer which inhibits an effective bias magnetic field from the recording layer to the readout layer at the room temperature. Since it is possible to reproduce only the information in the high-temperature area close to the center of the laser beam irradiated during reproducing, recording density is improved. Furthermore, since an initializing magnetic field at reproducing is not necessary and the reproducing magnetic field can be made smaller, the apparatus can be made smaller and the electric power consumption can be decreased.

摘要： A magneto-optical recording medium includes a readout layer has in-plane magnetization at room temperature and in which a transition occurs from in-plane magnetization to perpendicular magnetization when temperature thereof is raised, and a recording layer for recording thereon information. The composition of the readout layer varies in a direction perpendicular to the surface thereof, and in the readout layer, the Co density on the light incident side is higher than the Co density on the interface between the readout layer and the recording layer. Therefore, the Curie temperature on the reproducing light incident side of the readout layer is high and the the polar Kerr rotation angle in reproducing increases, thereby achieving improvements in a reproducing signal quality. On the other hand, since the Curie temperature on the interface is low, the shift of the threshold temperature at which a transition occurs from in-plane to perpendicular by the magnetic interaction between the layers can be suppressed, thereby achieving a high quality reproducing signal without changing the laser power required for reproduction very much.

摘要： A magneto-optical recording medium includes a readout layer having in-plane magnetization at room temperature and in which a transition occurs from in-plane magnetization to a perpendicular magnetization when temperature rises, and a recording layer for storing information thereon magneto-optically. In the readout layer made of GdFeCo by adding Nd thereto, an amount of Nd to be added changes in a direction perpendicular to its film surface, and an amount of Nd is larger on a light incidence side than on the other side. As a result, even when a laser with a short wavelength is used, high density recording can be achieved as undesirable recording and reproducing operations due to a change in a magnetic interaction is prevented and also deterioration in quality of a reproducing signal is prevented.

摘要： A magneto optical disk comprising: a circular substrate; a recording layer, formed on the substrate, for magneto-optical recording of information; a readout layer, formed between the substrate and the recording layer, for the reproduction of information recorded on the recording layer, wherein the readout layer has a Curie temperature which is higher than the Curie temperature of the recording layer, and exhibits in-plane magnetization at room temperature and a change from in-plane magnetization to perpendicular magnetization when its temperature rises over a certain temperature as a result of the application of a light beam, and wherein the magnetic compensation temperature is set such that it increases from the peripheral edge of the magneto-optical disk toward the center thereof. When the magneto-optical disk is used with a magneto-optical recording and reproducing device using a CAV system, it achieves high-density recording and the reproduction of signals with reduced noise, without causing the light beam control system to be complicated.

摘要： An optical disk has address recording sections each of which has a wobbled part of one of side walls of a groove. Each address recording section is formed by providing convexes of a groove in an adjacent land so as to widen the groove. With the wobbles thus provided in a concavo-convex form, address information is recorded. Besides, the address recording sections thus provided in the grooves are linearly disposed in radial directions of the optical disk. By thus arranging the optical disk on whose grooves and/or lands information is recorded, mixing of wobble frequency components in reproduced information signals does not occur, the sector method is applicable to the optical disk, and information signals of high quality can be obtained.
