MAGNETIC HEAD FOR MAGNETO-OPTICAL RECORDING AND MAGNETO-OPTICAL RECORDING HEAD

摘要

A floating type magnetic head for magneto-optical recording is opposed to an optical head through a magnetooptical recording medium inserted therebetween. The magnetic head is supported in non-contact with the magneto-optical recording medium and includes a slider and a head core. The head core has a section located in parallel to the magneto-optical medium. The section is formed to be longer in the orthogonal direction of tracks contained on the medium than in the horizontal direction of the tracks.
