DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a high-density perpendicular thermomagnetic recording and reproducing method.

間隔δ及び磁気ヘツドの読み取り出力電気信号の
レベルD(デシベル)の間に次の式が成立する。
Conventionally, in magnetic recording, in order to improve the magnetic recording density, it is essential to reduce the size of the magnetically recorded bit patterns, but if the interval λ of the bit patterns is reduced, the There is a law that states that the distance δ between the magnetic head and the magnetic recording medium must be made small. This is because the magnetic field lines of a small magnet extend farther in proportion to the size of the magnet. Therefore, the following equation holds between the interval λ between the bit patterns, the interval δ between the magnetic head and the magnetic recording medium, and the level D (decibel) of the read output electrical signal of the magnetic head.

D≒−55δ/λ (デシベル:dB) ……(1) この式(1)からわかるように、読み取り出力電気

しなければらない。
D≒-55δ/λ (decibel: dB) ...(1) As can be seen from this equation (1), the level D of the read output electrical signal is determined when the distance δ between the magnetic head and the magnetic recording medium is zero (the magnetic head is When the value of the interval δ is A, the output electric signal (when the magnetic recording medium is in close contact with the magnetic recording medium) is reduced by some decibels from that value. For example, when the bit pattern spacing λ is 1 μm, the value of the spacing δ between the magnetic head and the magnetic recording medium is
Even if it were 0.4 μm, the value of this reduction would be 22 decibels, which would reduce the output voltage by about 1/10. Therefore, in order not to reduce the output voltage of this magnetic head, the value of δ/λ must be maintained at about 0.2 to 0.4.

Figure 2 shows the conventional perpendicular thermo(optical) magnetic recording method (also called magneto-optical recording method as it uses a laser beam etc. as a heating means) for high-density magnetic recording, similar to the one in Figure 1. This is a diagram for explaining the temperature of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium M by irradiating the perpendicular magnetic recording medium M with a laser beam from the recording laser device 6 in accordance with the information and condensing it with a condensing lens 7. This is a method of recording information by lowering the coercive force by raising the magnetic field to the Curie point, and reversing the magnetic moment in the direction of the magnetic field using an external magnetic field from the coil 8.

Assuming that the perpendicular magnetic recording medium 13 is moving at a high speed in the direction of the arrow, the moving distance of point P in the direction of the arrow is x, and the heat ray source 11 is irradiating the heat ray, after Δt seconds, the The hot ray spot portion (the portion heated above the Curie point) indicated by the solid line circle (R) in Figure 4 moves by Δx in the opposite direction to the arrow and comes to the position indicated by the dotted circle (A). Therefore, the shaded area C is no longer heated by the heat ray irradiation, and its temperature rapidly decreases to below the Curie point. Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the magnetic field due to the current flowing through the coil 14 is also applied to the hatched portion C of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium 13, so the hatched portion C is Near the Curie point, the coercive force Hc once passes through a state where it is extremely low, and at this time it is magnetized in the direction of the magnetic field received from the coil 14. Since the coercive force Hc of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium 13 increases rapidly as it moves away from the Curie point and approaches room temperature, the magnetization direction of the shaded portion C will then change to the coil 14.
It is maintained without reversing even if the magnetic field from

In this way, as shown in FIG. 5A, a crescent-shaped magnetized magnetic recording pattern is sequentially formed on the perpendicular magnetic recording medium 13. The magnetization of the shaded portion in FIG. 5A is directed toward the front of the paper, and the magnetization of the non-hatched portion is directed toward the back. If this magnetization state is shown along the center of the recording track (on the x-axis), it will be as shown in FIG. 5B.

As shown in FIG. 7, a method for reading information recorded on the perpendicular magnetic recording medium 13 is to use a hot ray spot from a hot ray source 11 such as a semiconductor laser,
The hot ray spots are deformed through a filter 16 so as to form the same crescent-shaped pattern as the recording pattern on the magnetic film of the perpendicular magnetic recording medium 13, and the deformed hot ray spots are converted into linearly polarized light through a polarizer 17, and then collected by a half mirror 18. The light is focused onto the magnetic film through the optical lens system 12. At this time, since the magnetic film exhibits a magneto-optical effect, the reflected heat rays from the magnetic film cause a rotation of the plane of polarization, which is detected and read out by the analyzer 19 and the photoelectric conversion device 20.
