Domain Wall Displacement Detection (DWDD) medium with no annealing method, which we call "anneal-less" DWDD medium, has been improved for practical use. The key technologies of our progress are not only an optimum design of the magnetic film structure but also a deep groove substrate for land-groove recording with a quite unique groove form. The substrate was prepared by using the mastering process with a reactive ion etching (RIE) method. We achieved 15 Gbit/in2-areal density with wide system tolerances using the anneal-less DWDD medium, a 660nm-laser and a 0.60 NA objective lens. The areal density corresponds to 4.7 GB-capacity on a disc like MiniDisc (MD) wiht a 64 mm-diameter.
A mobile magneto-optical disk system with 2 Gbytes user- capacity is proposed. The disk consists of a center aperture detection type of magnetically induced super-resolution medium, a 0.5 mm thickness substrate with 50 mm in diameter, and a newly developed UV curing resin film to keep the disk tilt small even if its surrounding environmental condition changes. The optics contains a blue laser diode of a 406 nm wavelength and an objective lens with a numerical aperture of 0.6. A laser pulsed magnetic field modulation method is employed and it realizes land and groove recording with an effective track pitch of 0.40 micrometers . Practicable system margin values are confirmed at 0.146 micrometers bit density.
We studied the performance of the center-aperture-detection type of magnetically induced super-resolution disk using a blue laser diode and an objective lens with a numerical aperture of 0.6. We confirmed the practicability of 11 Gbit/in2 recording density by the evaluation of the system margins. The recording density we confirmed is equivalent to 15 GB user capacity on a 120-mm-sized disk. We can expect higher recording density by the reduction of the crosstalk.
We have investigated high density magneto-optical recording on a center aperture detection (CAD) type of magnetically induced super resolution (MSR) disk using a GaN blue laser diode. The substrate treatment by an ultraviolet rays irradiation, the optimum thermal structure, and the stabilization of copy process by tripled layer recording films were applied to improve the CAD-MSR media for a blue laser. The carrier to noise ratio of 0.227 micrometers mark length was 43 dB and the jitter without cross-talk from adjacent tracks was 10.3% at the areal density of 10.8 Gbit/in2. We confirmed that a blue laser is the most promising method in order to realize the higher areal density for CAD-MSR disk.
A 6 GB user-capacity disk with a 120 mm-diameter single side substrate was realized by the use of a center aperture detection (CAD) type of magnetically induced super resolution (MSR) disk through the AS-MO (Advanced Storage Magneto Optical) activity. It utilized a practical optics which consists of a 640 nm wavelength laser and a 0.6 numerical aperture (NA) lens, and land and groove (L/G) recording with an effective track pitch of 0.6 pm was realized. The areal bit density reached to 4.6 Gbit/in2 with available system margins. In this report, we present improved CADMSR performance at narrower pitch tracks and at higher linear density with the same optics.
