Abstract
Disclosed is a flying head of a magneto-optical recording apparatus, in which a thin film magnetic head is provided separately from an air slider and stuck to a side wall of a light path aperture portion, the portion of the wall surface to which the thin film magnetic head is attached is made inclined so that the flying head has a superior flying characteristic, the modulation of a magnetic field can be performed at a high speed, and the peak position of distribution of intensity of a laser beam is made to align with the peak position of distribution of intensity of a magnetic field.
Claims6
A flying head of a magneto-optical recording apparatus, comprising:
- a flying head body provided in the vicinity of a revolving magneto-optical recording medium so as to float on an air stream caused by said revolving magneto-optical recording medium, said flying head body including a light path aperture portion having a side wall;
- a lens provided in said light path aperture portion of said flying head body for focusing a light beam from a light source onto a recording surface of said magneto-optical recording medium;
- and
- a magnetic field generating means provided in said flying head body for forming a magnetic field directed toward said recording surface of said magneto-optical recording medium;
- wherein said flying head body is formed of a non-magnetic material, said magnetic field generating means is comprises a thin film magnetic head, and said thin film magnetic head being attached to said wall surface of said light path aperture portion in proximity to the light beam.
