Magneto-optical recording/reproducing apparatus and magneto-optical recording/reproducing method

摘要

A magneto-optical recording/reproducing apparatus and a magneto-optical recording/reproducing method are disclosed for preventing a variation of an edge position of a mark reproduced from a recording medium. An exemplary magneto-optical recording/reproducing apparatus for recording/reproducing an information mark on/from a magneto-optical recording medium includes a detection unit for determining the length of a first recording information mark and an adjustment unit for adjusting the intensity of a recording magnetic field for recording a second information mark depending on the length of the first information mark recorded immediately before the second recording information mark.
