Abstract
A feasibility study of a magneto-optical(MO) disk for an NA 0.85 system is presented. The disk noise level in this system was relatively large compared to the conventional NA 0.55 system at the recording density corresponding to this spot size. Two methods were introduced for the improvement. One was the optimization of the groove structure, and the other was the reduction of the metal surface roughness. The former was found to be the typical noise source for optics for a narrower track pitch disk. A UV ashing apparatus was utilized for reduction of the noise. The latter noise source was characteristic for the surface MO recording, and the etching process was found effective for the improvement. By using both these methods, the noise level was drastically decreased, achieving high areal density of 7 Gb/inch2.
