It is an object of the present invention to provide an optical recording disc which can record data constituted by a recording mark train including recording marks and blank regions neighboring recording marks therein and reproduce the data therefrom in a desired manner even in the case where the lengths of a recording mark and a blank region between neighboring recording marks are shorter than the resolution limit and whose storage capacity can be markedly increased.An optical recording disc is constituted so that data are recorded therein and data are reproduced therefrom with the irradiation with a laser beam and includes a laminated body formed by laminating a decomposition reaction layer 5 containing platinum oxide as a primary component and a light absorbing layer 7 so as to sandwich a second dielectric layer 6. The optical recording disc is further constituted so that when it is irradiated with the laser beam, a bubble pit is formed in the decomposition reaction layer 5 and fine particles of platinum precipitate into the bubble pit, thereby forming a recording mark in the decomposition reaction layer 5 and each of the fine particles of platinum has a particle diameter of 2 nm to 15 nm.

An aperture 12 for producing an evanescent wave is provided at an n-Au electrode 106. The aperture 12 is directed roughly perpendicularly to a direction in which end faces 104a of an active layer 104 of an optical device oppose to each other, and therefore, laser light generated in the active layer 104 is made incident in the form of the p-polarized light. By the incidence of the p-polarized laser light, an evanescent wave of a comparatively great intensity is obtained from the aperture 12. With this arrangement, an optical device capable of obtaining an evanescent wave of a comparatively great intensity is provided.

An optical reproducing device according to the present invention detects mean amplitude values of short marks and long marks, which are recorded marks for reproducing power control, by means of a short mark level detecting circuit and a long mark level detecting circuit. Then a differential amplifier compares a ratio between these two mean amplitude values with a standard value, and outputs the result of this comparison. Thereafter, a reproducing power control circuit controls reproducing power of a semiconductor laser such that the absolute value of this comparison result is reduced. Since mean values of the amplitude values of the short marks and long marks are detected, the detection results are very accurate, and the precision of control of reproducing power can be greatly improved.

A magnetic recording medium, which includes a substrate and an amorphous magnetic layer, made of an amorphous magnetic material, for magnetic recording of data, is provided with an underlayer between the substrate and the amorphous magnetic layer, the underlayer being made of amorphous metal element, and having a mean thickness of 10 nm or less. In this manner, movement of magnetic domain walls of the amorphous magnetic layer is effectively limited by minute irregularities on a surface of the underlayer. This realizes a stable formation of a minute recording mark. This realizes recording having a sufficient signal quality, even when the high-density recording is performed by forming such a minute recording mark that a shortest length of the recording mark is less than 100 nm. Moreover, this allows the magnetic recording medium to have a simplified layer structure. Further, a magnetic recording apparatus magnetically records data onto a magnetic recording medium having the above arrangement, by heating a portion of the magnetic layer by radiating a light beam locally, and by applying a magnetic field on at least part of the portion of the magnetic layer on which the light beam is radiated. This provides a magnetic recording apparatus for high-density recording.

An optical device and a recording medium are provided with a recording layer for recording information by radiation of light, and a mask layer which is formed closely to the recording layer, reduces its transmittance of light due to light or heat, and transmits light to the recording layer by using a near-field effect. An optical reproducing and recording method includes the steps of: emitting a laser beam onto the mask layer, generating a near field around an area of the mask layer that has transmittance being reduced by the laser beam, and reproducing or recording optical information in the recording layer by interaction between the near field and the recording layer. With this method, it is possible to provide the optical device, recording medium, and optical reproducing and recording method that can realize a high S/N ratio upon reproducing and recording and that can readily form a recording mark.

A recording conditions controlling method for an optical memory device of the present invention includes the steps of: a reproducing condition controlling step for projecting light on an optical recording medium on which information is recorded and measuring a reproducing signal read so as to control a recording condition optimum; and a recording condition controlling step for controlling a recording condition in accordance with the reproducing condition thus optimized. This prevents destruction of an optical disk by heat, which occurs when the heat capacity of the optical disk is small and/or when the environment temperature is high, thus realizing a stable control of recording light quantity.

A magneto-optical disk 1 has a track, wherein one of the sidewalls (sidewall 4) of a groove 2 is wobbled by a wobble signal, and is provided with a notch 5 in the track having a different frequency from the wobble signal. The absolute position of the magneto-optical disk 1 is detected with a sample bit stored by the notch 5 of the track, and an information bit is stored with a recording/reproducing clock synchronizing with that position. By forming the notch 5 in this manner, information can always be recorded at the same information bit position, regardless of how many times information is rewritten. Therefore, a gap area and a buffer area, which have conventionally been essential, are not needed on the optical disk. Consequently, it is possible to use a recording area effectively.

An optical disk is provided with grooves, which have first and second regions. A first side wall of a groove in the first region is wabbled, while a second side wall of the groove, which is opposite to the wabbled side wall in the first region, is wabbled in the second region. The tracking of a light beam is carried out with respect to the first and second regions, so that first amplitude of a first wabble signal and second amplitude of a second wabble signal, which are contained in a tracking error signal, are obtained. The first and second amplitude are compared, and a correction signal which varies depending on the difference in the amplitude is given to the tracking error signal, so that the first and the second amplitude are corrected to be substantially equal. Thus, it is possible to correct a deviation caused by an error in conditioning optical elements, an aberration of optical elements, and a change due to aging.
