Abstract
A recording system for use with a recording disk including a slider positioned near the surface of the recording disk a small distance away therefrom is provided. The slider traverses the disk by displacement to and away from the center of the disk. A laser (603) light source is affixed to the slider (604) for projecting a light beam through the recording disk to a photosensor positioned in optical communication with the laser light source. The disk is rotated by a disk drive.
Claims6
A recording system for recording data on a magneto optical recording disk having a recording surface including a recording layer, comprising:
- slider means adjacent to the recording surface of said recording disk and separated from the recording surface by a small distance, the slider means adapted to transverse said disk by transversing towards the center point of the disk and away from the center;
- laser light source means mounted adjacent said recording disk on said slider means for projecting a laser light towards said recording layer;
- photo-sensor means mounted adjacent said recording disk for receiving the light emitted from the laser source and outputting a signal in response thereto, the recording disk disposed between the laser source means and the photo-sensor means cooperating with the laser source;
- and
- magnetic biasing means mounted on the slider means for producing a magnetic field bias causing data to be written on said magneto optical recording disk, said magnetic biasing means including a magnetic pole core integrally formed on the slider means, and a magnetic coil, the magnetic coil being wound about the laser light source means and the magnetic core pole.
