Abstract
We evaluate laser-pumped magnetic-field-modulation (LP-MFM), continuous laser-irradiated magnetic-field-modulation, andlight-intensity-modulation recording in magneto-optical disks, usingtemperature calculations and experiments. LP-MFM is useful forrecording short marks: One can record magnetic domains as small as 0.15-mum marks with LP-MFM by using a spin-polarized scanningelectron microscope. LP-MFM is also useful for reducing the trackpitch. Experiments showed that no cross write occurred at a 0.6-mum track pitch, and calculation showed that the heatdistribution is narrow. We confirmed the advantages of LP-MFM forrecording magnetically induced superresolution disks by investigatingthe difference in the shapes of the recorded domains.
