Abstract

PURPOSE:To erase information partially and to perform recording simultaneously with erasure by providing two optical systems, i.e. recording optical system for recording and reproduction and erasure optical which reproduces and erases recorded information. CONSTITUTION:Laser light from a semiconductor laser generator 2 for recording strikes a photomagnetic disk 1, and its reflected light enters a photodetector 9. Laser light from a semiconductor laser generator 10 for reproduction and erasure, on the other hand, also strikes the photomagnetic disk 1, and its reflected light enters a polarized beam splitter 15; a part of the incident light is guided to a photodetector 18 and the remainder is made incident to a photodetector 20. When laser generators having the same output are used for recording, and reproduction and erasure, the disk input power of the reproduction and erasure system is reduced almost to a half as large as that of the recording system because a polarized beam splitter 5 transmits light from a light source by nearly 100% and the ratio of the transmissivity and reflection factor of a polarized beam splitter 13 is almost 1:1, so an externally applied magnetic field is made larger during erasure than during recording to apply a magnetic field enough for magnetism inversion.

That is, the first method uses only a strong magnetic field, and this method has the problem that it is extremely difficult to erase partial information. The second method is to apply a weak magnetic field and irradiate laser light at the same time. In this method, since the erasing optical system is generally used in common with the recording optical system, recording and erasing can be performed at the same time. The problem was that I couldn't do it.

When the recording semiconductor laser generator (2) and the reproducing/erasing semiconductor laser generator 00 have the same output, the polarizing beam splitter (5) of the recording system transmits approximately 100 beams of light from the light source. Regeneration and
In the erasing system, it is not possible to use 7 plates due to signal issues, and since the polarizing beam splitter a3 has a ratio of transmittance to reflectance of approximately 1:1, the disk input power is
Compared to the recording system, it is reduced to about half in the reproduction/erasing system. Also, since the laser power during erasing is half of that during recording, the temperature of the thin film of the magneto-optical disk (1) does not reach the single Curie point during one erasure, but as shown in Figure 2, the coercive force increases with temperature. Erasing is possible by applying a magnetic field sufficient to reverse the magnetization (the externally applied magnetic field is larger during erasing than during recording).
