Magneto-optical recording medium, and magneto-optical recording/reproducing apparatus

摘要

Using the MSR (magnetically induced super-resolution) technology, a read-head field is applied to a magneto-optical recording medium when reading information signal from a recording layer of a magneto-optical recording medium, in order to magnetize the read light-irradiated magnetic layer in one direction in a part of an area within the read light spot. The magneto-optical recording medium using the MSR technology adopts the on-land recording method in which information signal is written to the land, which enables read of information signal by the MSR technology with a smaller read-head field. <IMAGE>
