Abstract:
A magneto-optical recording medium has a multi-layer magnetic film structure comprising a reproducing layer, an intermediate layer, and a record holding layer. These layers are magnetically coupled to one another. The recording medium is irradiated with a laser beam and appropriate magnetic fields are provided such that in a area of a spot of the laser beam on the recording medium, first, second and third regions are formed as a result of the temperature distribution within the laser beam spot. The first and third regions act as masking regions, with the second region between the first and third regions being a region from which magnetic signals stored in the record hold layer are transferred to the reproducing layer and are read out from the reproducing layer.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a magnetooptic recording medium (10) having at least a reproducing layer (11) and a recording layer (13), from which information is read out by changing the state of magnetization of the reproducing layer (11) comprises steps of forming the reproducing layer (11) on a substrate (21), putting a high-density magnetic recording medium (30) storing information in a high-density magnetic pattern into close contact with the reproducing layer (11) to copy the high-density magnetic pattern formed on the high-density magnetic recording medium (30) into the reproducing layer (11), and forming the recording layer (13) over the reproducing layer (11) after copying the high-density magnetic pattern into the reproducing layer, to copy the high-density magnetic pattern into the recording layer (13).

Also, an apparatus which performs the above-mentioned functions and additionally which is capable of recording and/or reproducing conventional magneto-optical discs which reproduce and/or record over the entire area of irradiation.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for recording and reproducing information onto and from a magneto-optic recording medium is disclosed. The magneto-optic recording medium has at least a reproducing layer and a recording layer. A recording optical head records information on the magneto-optic recording medium. A reproducing optical head has a reading light beam for reading information recorded in a region within a spot of the reading light beam by magneto-optic effect by changing a state of magnetization of the reproducing layer and at the same time irradiating the recording medium with the light beam. A wavelength of the recording light beam emitted by the recording optical head is substantially smaller than a wavelength of the reading light beam emitted by the reading optical head. A minimum ratio of the wavelength of the recording light beam to that of the reproducing light beam is 1:3.

Abstract:
A bioassay substrate (1) is flat and has a disc-shaped main side like an optical disc such as CD. The substrate (1) is rotatable about a central hole (2) formed therein. The substrate (1) has formed on the surface (1a) thereof a plurality of wells (8) where a probe-use DNA (detection-use nucleotide chain) and sample-use DNA (target nucleotide chain) react with each other for hybridization. The substrate (1) has a transparent electrode layer (4) formed as an underlying layer of the well (8). For hybridization, an external electrode (18) is placed in a position near the transparent electrode layer (4) from above the top surface (1a) of the substrate (1) to apply an AC power to between the transparent electrode layer (4) and external electrode (18) in order to apply an AC electric field perpendicularly to the substrate (1).
