Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow the efficient cooling of a coil for generating magnetic fields for magneto-optical recording and to take sufficient spacing between the magneto-optical recording medium and a magnetic field modulating head so as to prolong the life of the head by providing a Peltier element which couples thermally to the magnetic field modulating head element for magneto-optical recording. CONSTITUTION:The cooling electrode side of the Peltier element 13 is thermally and tightly coupled via a conductive adhesive agent 20, such as conductive paste, having a good thermal conductivity to the rear surface of a substrate 14 of the magnetic field modulating head element 12. The coil 11 for generating magnetic fields for magneto-optical recording is efficiently cooled in this way and, therefore, even if the high-frequency large current of the energizing current to this coil 11 for generating magnetic fields is impressed to the coil, the generation of the failure of the coil or the degradation in the magnetic field generating efficiency by the heat generation thereof is averted and the quantity of the energizing current is thereby increased. The generation of the powerful magnetic field is, therefore, possible and since the spacing of the magneto-optical recording medium 1 and the magnetic field modulating head 6 for magneto-optical recording can be taken sufficiently large, the longer life is obtd.

On the other hand, for the magnetic field modulation head (6) for magneto-optical recording, it is desired that the coil for generating the magnetic field for recording be constructed of a thin film coil in order to make the head compact and mass-produced. In this case, in order to particularly increase the generated magnetic field and achieve high-density recording, it is necessary to apply a large current and high frequency current, which poses a problem of heat generation from the coil. In other words, the magnetic field generation efficiency decreases due to this heat generation. Damage to the coil becomes a problem.

However, such a method is not sufficient for cooling the above-mentioned thin film coil type magnetic field modulation head for magneto-optical recording. Therefore, it is not possible to apply a sufficient current to the coil, and as a result, it is not possible to generate a sufficiently large recording magnetic field, and it is not possible to make the distance between the magneto-optical recording medium and the magnetic head sufficiently large. Furthermore, if a high-frequency, large current capable of generating a large recording magnetic field is applied to the coil, the coil may burn out, resulting in disadvantages such as impeding long-term use and longevity.
