Optical magnetic memory device utilizing non-recorded portions of recording medium to represent data

摘要

An optical magnetic memory device includes an optical magnetic recording medium such as a disc having recording magnetic film at least on one side thereof and initialized in a certain direction in advance, a recording section for recording data in such a manner that data-recorded portions and non-recorded portions are alternately formed, and a reproducing section for reproducing data from the recording medium by detecting the interval between the recorded or non-recorded portions. The reproducing section comprises a detector for detecting positive and negative peaks of signals reproduced from the recorded or non-recorded portion and a selector for selecting either of the detection outputs from the detector according to a control signal.
