Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce a danger where an amorphous magnetic material is crystallized in the recording and erasing modes by irradiating a laser beam to a photomagnetic recording medium and reducing the intensity of the laser beam after the inversion of nagnetization is started to continue said inversion. CONSTITUTION:The laser beam of a laser diode light source 2 which is driven by a driving circuit 1 is irradiated to an amorphous magnetic film of a revolving disk recording medium disk via a collimator lens 3, a beam splitter 4 and an objective lens 5. When the invertion of magnetization is started, the intensity of the laser beam is reduced to continue said inversion of magnetization. In this way, a danger where an amorphous magnetic material is crystallized is reduced.

(Background of the Invention) In recent years, the information society has progressed at a remarkable pace, and the need for large-capacity recording media and recording/playback methods is rapidly increasing. Laser video discs, digital audio discs, etc. have already been put into practical use. ing. However, the recording media that have been put into practical use have the drawback of not being rewritable, and a rewritable recording medium and recording/reproducing system are desired.

A magneto-optical recording and reproducing method has been proposed as one of the rewritable recording and reproducing methods, and a prototype has also been announced. This magneto-optical recording and reproducing method is, for example, GdCo, G
Applying a strong external magnetic field to a magneto-optical recording medium mainly consisting of a perpendicularly magnetized film made of a magnetic material such as dTbFe, and once aligning the direction of magnetization of this perpendicularly magnetized film either upward or downward, For example, by irradiating a laser beam with a cross-sectional radius of 1 micron, the perpendicularly magnetized film is locally heated to a temperature above or near one point (Tc) of the magnetic material, and the coercive force of the heated area is reduced to zero or extremely small, and at the same time By applying a weak reversal magnetic field, the direction of magnetization is reversed, and since the medium is now moving at high speed, the irradiation position of the laser beam moves every moment, and as a result, an elliptical (ro-co-shaped) bit is formed. It is formed.

On the other hand, since the direction of magnetization of the bit part of the recorded information is opposite to that of the film, when linearly polarized light is irradiated, the polarization plane of the reflected or transmitted light changes depending on whether the magnetization is above or below the same direction. are reproduced using different phenomena (magnetic Kerr effect or magnetic Faraday effect).

Therefore, if a polarizer (also called an analyzer) is placed in front of the reflected or transmitted light so that its main axis is set at -11 degrees, the light from the downwardly magnetized part will hardly pass through the analyzer. First, the source from the upwardly magnetized part will be transmitted by the amount multiplied by sin 2σK, so if you install a detector (photoelectric conversion element) at the end of the analyzer, you can scan the recording medium at high speed. , and is reproduced as a current strength signal depending on the presence or absence of recorded bits and the bit length.

To erase the record, the nine recorded bits are heated with a laser beam in the same way as during recording, thereby reducing the coercive force to zero or an extremely low value, and at the same time applying a reversal magnetic field. By doing so, the magnetization direction of the bit is returned to its original direction, and then the laser beam irradiation is stopped to fix the magnetization direction to the original direction. This erases the recorded bits, thereby erasing the recording and returning the medium to its pre-recording state. Therefore, since re-recording becomes possible, rewriting is completed by performing recording as described above.

Therefore, when heated too much, there is a tendency for the phase to change from an amorphous state exhibiting perpendicular magnetization to a crystalline state exhibiting no perpendicular magnetization. Therefore, even when recording or erasing is intended, the completely reversed magnetization is no longer 100%, which has the drawback of lowering the S/N ratio or erasing accuracy.

(Summary of the Invention) As a result of intensive research, the inventor of the present invention discovered that, by chance, if the magnetization of a minute portion was successfully reversed by heating initially, then even if the intensity of the laser beam was weakened (in other words, if the laser beam was not heated too much) The inventors discovered that the reversal continues like a chess game, thereby reducing the risk of crystallization of the formed bit part, and thus achieved the present invention'-) Voice.

The reason why the intensity of the laser beam can be weakened after the magnetization is successfully reversed is not fully understood, but it is likely that the exchange interaction from the reversed magnetic moment is caused by the external magnetic field. The present inventor believes that since the magnetic flux acts on the adjacent unreversed magnetic moment, the reversal occurs even when the temperature is not high enough and a considerable amount of coercive force remains.

(Example 2) The configuration of the mounting device is almost the same as in Example (Figure 2), but here the reflected light from (Di'fkA) is collected by a condenser lens (7) and sent to a detector (9).

Focusing and tracking signals are, in principle, always required during tracking, and therefore it is necessary to irradiate a laser beam even when recording or erasing bits. However, the intensity of the laser beam is high enough for recording or erasing.

On the other hand, an erasing device is in principle the same as a recording device, except that the direction of the external magnetic field is reversed, but when attempting to erase records within a certain range, it picks up only the formed pits. Since it is troublesome to erase, within that range, regardless of the presence or absence of pits, after irradiating the laser beam with the -1-r erasing intensity Pg level as shown in Figure 6 (1), if the reversal starts. For example, according to the present invention, the irradiation is performed at a lower level than the PL level, and then the inversion is continued to complete erasing. In this case, when continuing to irradiate at the PL level,
If it is not reliable whether the reversal continues or not, the laser irradiation intensity may be returned to the original erase intensity PK level from time to time as shown in FIG. 6(2).

(Effects of the Invention) According to the present invention, high strength (Pw
) The time the medium is exposed to the laser beam is shortened, so the risk of crystallization of the amorphous directly magnetized film of the medium is reduced, and as a result, a decrease in the S/N ratio during playback can be avoided. Furthermore, shortening of the life of the medium due to repeated recording and erasing of the medium can be avoided.
