A magneto-optical recording medium including a recording layer and a bias layer being stacked one upon the other to apply coupling interaction which is mainly magnetostatic interaction to each other, the bias layer having a magnetization-reversing temperature higher than that of the recording layer. The medium is irradiated with laser beam pulses having a recording level and an erasing level lower than the recording level, thereby recording and erasing the information. When the medium is irradiated with the laser beam pulse having the recording level and the irradiated region is cooled to the magnetization reversing temperature T.sub.rR, the magnetization of the beam-irradiated region of the recording layer is aligned with a direction of the leakage magnetic field leaking from the recording layer. When the medium is irradiated with the laser beam pulse having the erase level and the irradiated region is cooled to T.sub.rR, direction of magnetization of the beam-irradiated region of the recording layer is aligned with a direction of the leakage magnetic field applied from the bias layer to the recording layer.
摘要:
In a phase change optical recording medium, by determining heat conductivity relatively higher in one of interference layers on and under the recording layer, heat absorbed into the recording layer can be released moderately through an interference layer. Thereby, cross erasure caused by heating of adjacent tracks can be prevented, and at the same time, excessive heat radiation is prevented from a part of the recording layer nearer to the substrate to thereby maintain appropriate heat in the recording layer. As a result, cross-erasure is prevented, and data can be rewritten with the supply of typical recording/erasure power.

A phase change recording medium comprises a substrate, an interference layer formed on the substrate and a recording layer formed on the interference layer. In this, the reflectance of the crystalline region in the recording layer is lower than that of amorphous region therein, and the interference layer comprises at least three layers of which the dielectric constant differs from that of the adjacent layers. With that constitution, the optical characteristics and the thermal characteristics of the medium are all optimized.

Light beams having two different power levels are radiated on a magneto-optical medium having a recording layer and a bias layer magnetostatically coupled to the recording layer, thereby recording and erasing information. Upon radiation of a high level beam, a beam irradiated portion of the recording layer is heated to reach a magnetization reversal temperature, and the direction of magnetization of the irradiated portion follows a direction of a leakage field generated by a magnetization distribution formed by heating of the bias layer. Upon radiation of a low level beam, a beam irradiated portion of the recording layer is heated to reach a magnetization reversal temperature to cause the bias layer to generate a leakage field having a magnitude smaller than that upon radiation of the high level beam. In this case, the direction of magnetization of the recording layer is opposite to that of the leakage field obtained upon radiation of the high level beam. The directions of magnetization of the bias layer are kept unchanged before and after the radiation of the high level beam and before and after the radiation of the low level beam.
摘要:
A method of magneto-optically recording and erasing information which comprises irradiating pulse-like laser beam onto a magneto-optical information storage medium including recording and bias layers which has perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and which are stacked one upon the other to apply coupling interaction which is mainly magnetostatic interaction to each other, and magnetization-reversing temperature of the bias layer being higher than that of the recording layer. When the recording laser beam is irradiated onto the medium, the beam-irradiated portion of the medium is heated to form a reversed magnetic domain in the bias layer, magnetization of the recording layer is reversed by first leakage magnetic field applied to the recording layer when beam-irradiated portion is then cooled, and magnetization of the bias layer is directed in same direction as that under initial state by second leakage magnetic field, applied to the bias layer. When the erasing layer beam is irradiated onto the medium, the beam-irradiated portion of the medium is heated to the magnetization-reversing temperature of the recording layer, and due to third leakage magnetic field applied to the recording layer at this time, the direction of magnetization of the recording layer is re-reversed.
