A magnetically induced super-resolution (MSR) magneto-optical recording medium capable of reproducing a recorded mark smaller in size than a beam spot, having recording tracks consisting of lands and grooves, includes a transparent substrate (14) on which the lands (30) and the grooves (32) are alternately formed, a magnetic reproducing layer (18) formed on the transparent substrate (14), and a magnetic recording layer (22) formed on the magnetic reproducing layer (18). Each land (30) has a first width, and each groove (32) has a second width larger than the first width. The depth of each groove (32) on the substrate (14) is 60 nm or less, and the track pitch is 0.7 µm or less. |
