摘要:
A magneto-optic recording system uses a unit recording medium having on a substrate a first magnetic layer whose Curie temperature is low and also having on the first magnetic layer a second magnetic layer whose Curie temperature is high. The system heats a spot on the medium with a heating device. The system may employ two such unit recording media, each having the second magnetic layer magnetized in one direction. The two unit recording media are superposed on each other and formed integrally so as to obtain a magneto-optic recording medium in which the amount of information recorded and the recording speed are doubled. In addition, a light-emitting device and a magnetic field generator are added to the magneto-optic recording medium to obtain a compact magneto-optic recording system with a low level of power consumption.

In an optical disk apparatus for recording information in pits formed on an optical disk by projecting a light beam onto the optical disk and heating an area of the optical disk corresponding to the pulse pattern of the information, the pulse pattern of the information to be recorded is discriminated, and on the basis of the discriminated pulse pattern, the timing to start on and end the emission of the light beam from the light source to the optical disk is modified, or the number of emissions and the duration of each emission is controlled so that the pattern of the pits are corrected to the shapes that ensure accurate regeneration of the information.

A magneto-optic recording medium has a cartridge provided with a magnetization direction indicating portion for indicating the direction of magnetization of a second magnetic layer. Alternatively, the direction of magnetization of the second magnetic layer is recorded in advance in the first magnetic layer. The direction of magnetization of the second magnetic layer indicated or recorded is detected and recognized. A magnetic field oriented in an opposite direction to the direction of magnetization detected is imparted to the magneto-optic recording medium. Alternatively, predetermined information is recorded in the first magnetic layer, the direction of magnetization of the second magnetic layer is detected on the basis of a signal reproducing that information, and the direction of a magnetic field to be applied to the magneto-optic recording medium is set on the basis of the direction of magnetization thus detected. In addition, the direction of the magnetic field to be applied to the magneto-optic recording medium is set and the output of a light beam is changed on the basis of the direction of the second magnetic layer detected.
摘要:
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for improving accuracy of recording and reproducing information onto and from a magneto-optic recording information medium. In the first method, a width of a mark formed by a relatively low intensity light beam between two kinds of light beam intensities used for recording information is made larger than a sum of a track land width and the maximum track offset of the light beam, thereby the mark formed by the relatively low intensity light beam covers the track land portion in its full width. In the first apparatus, a reflected light beam from the magneto-optic recording information medium is split into a reflected beam for information reproducing and a reflected beam for tracking and focusing servos at the reproducing, thereby the apparatus can remove part being affected by the track groove portion from the reflected light beam for information reproducing. In the second method and apparatus, an intensity ratio of the two kinds of intensities of light beams used for information recording is controlled in such a manner that a mark width formed by the relative low intensity light beam is wider than a mark width formed by the relative high intensity light beam.

A magneto-optic recording apparatus which has a magnetic field generator that applies a magnetic field with a constant direction to a magneto-optic recording information medium for overwriting information to improve accuracy of recording and reproducing information onto and from magneto-optic recording information medium and further has an auxiliary magnetic field generator that compensates a variation of intensity of a magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator and applied to the magneto-optic recording information medium is disclosed as the first invention. Also, a magneto-optic recording apparatus which performs synchronous wave detection of the reflected light signals from the magneto-optic recording information medium and controls A.C. voltages applied to an exciting coil of the magnetic field generator in response to the detected result of the synchronous wave detection, thus optimizing amplitudes of the reproducing signals from the magneto-optic recording information medium is disclosed as the second invention.
摘要:
A recording light beam from an argon laser is modulated with an electrical recording signal and then recorded on a rotating disc-shaped record medium. Immediately after this recording, a recorded signal on the record medium is reproduced with a light beam from a helium-argon laser and converted into an electrical signal. Duty cycles of both signals are sensed by respective duty cycle sensors. A differential amplifier produces a differential signal between the sensed duty cycles and supplies it to an optical modulator arranged to control the output of the recording laser. The modulator controls the recording light beam to its optimum light level for recording in response to the differential signal which was detected just before its modulation.
摘要:
A recording optical system forms a recording spot to record a pitted signal on a record surface. A first reproducing optical system forms a reproducing spot fixed with respect to the recording spot on the record surface for monitoring purposes, and a second reproducing optical system with the greater part of the optical components thereof common to the first reproducing optical system and also including a rotatable reflecting mirror for forming a tracking spot on the record surface. The tracking spot is movable on the recorded signal by the rotation of the mirror in response to the light reflected from the record surface for causing the tracking spot to accurately track the pitted signal on the record surface.
