Abstract:
This invention relates to a recording apparatus using magneto-optical effect in which information is recorded on a magneto-optical disc (1) and, more particularly, to a recording apparatus using magneto-optical effect of the magnetic field modulating type in which a light beam is irradiated onto a magneto-optical disc (1) and a magnetic field modulated by a predetermined modulating method is applied to the magneto-optical disc (1). The light beam is irradiated intermittently onto the magneto-optical disc (1) by drive pulses (LP) based on reference clocks (Sck) and the drive pulses (LP) at the positions corresponding to change points of information thinned out in the case where a ratio N of the minimum length between transition to the window margin is larger than 1, thereby accomplishing recording of a correct magnetization pattern.
Abstract:
In a magneto-optical recording apparatus, light spots are successively formed on a magneto-optical disc (2) at a timing of a predetermined reference clock signal (SCK), and record data are magnetically recorded onto the disc (2) by applying a predetermined modulation magnetic field (HM) of which the polarity is inverted depending on the record data in synchronism with the reference clock signal (SCK). At least one of the timing of irradiating a light beam (LA1) forming the light spots, the light volume of the beam or the irradiation time is controlled depending upon the temperature of the disc (2) and/or the scanning position of the light spot, in order to form a pit (P) at a correct position relative to the timing of the reference clock signal (SCK).

Abstract:
A magneto-optical recording medium of domain wall motion detection type in the form of groove recording for recording a signal in a signal recording area within a groove formed along a recording track. The radius of curvature R1 of the shoulder portion, adjacent to a groove, of the land between grooves in the cross section taken perpendicularly to the recording track is 30 nm or less, and the radius of curvature R2 of the inner edge portion, adjacent to the land, of the groove where a signal is recorded in the cross section taken perpendicularly to the recording track is 20 nm or more. The recording power margin is increased, the jitter is improved, and the error rate is also improved.
Abstract:
An optical recording medium having wobbles disposed desirably in view of a production process when wobbles are provided at part of the boundaries between lands and grooves. An optical recording medium comprising an optical recording layer (16) and a protection layer (17) having uneven shapes in conformity with grooves (15a) and laminated on a disc-form disk substrate (15) having grooves (15a) formed in the surface thereof and having protrusions and recesses divided for each track region by the grooves (15a), the optical recording medium being formatted so as to use both the protrusions (lands (L)) and the recesses (grooves (G)) as recording areas, wherein wobbles (W) for providing clock information or address information are formed on side wall portions, out of a pair of opposing side walls constituting the grooves (15a), on the inner peripheral side of the disk substrate (15) as viewed from recesses (grooves (G)) and on the outer peripheral side of the disk substrate (15) as viewed from protrusions (lands (L)).
Abstract:
An optical disk having a plurality of substantially concentric tracks, each of which includes a plurality of segments each comprising a servo area ARs provided with servo pits for giving servo information to a disk drive and a data area ARd. Identification marks SGM, ADM, STM1, STM2 are recorded in the servo area ARs. The identification marks SGM, ADM, STM1, STM2 provide information for identifying the respective segments depending on the recording position in the servo area ARs.
