Abstract

In a magnetic amplifying magnetooptical system (MAMMOS) disk, the copying process of a magnetic domain from the recording layer into the readout layer is investigated by using a laser spot diameter of 0.66 µm. Interference between neighboring bits occurs when the spatial resolution of the copy process is larger than half the domain size. It is observed that a reduction of the readout power from 2.3 to 2.0 mW corresponds to a decrease of the copy window from 0.5 to 0.06 µm. As a result, at 2.0 mW packed magnetic domains with a width of only 0.11 µm have been resolved without interference by using domain expansion
