Magneto-optical recording apparatus

A magneto-optical recording apparatus which records data on a magnetic field modification system in a magneto-optical recording medium in which a recording possible area which is able to record data and a recording impossible area in which at least one pit is formed not to be deleted and data can not be recorded are successively formed along a track, said magneto-optical recording apparatus comprising:

• laser means for emitting a laser beam on one surface of said magneto-optical recording medium;
• magnetic field generating means for generating a magnetic field which is supplied on the other surface of said magneto-optical recording medium corresponding to a position where said laser beam of said magneto-optical recording medium is emitted;
• and
• control means for controlling said magnetic field generating means, when information data is recorded in a certain recording possible area, so as to generate the magnetic field in said recording impossible area which exists between a pit located at the latest end side of said recording impossible area and the head of said certain recording possible area, and controlling said magnetic field generating means so as to generate the magnetic field modulated based on said information data in said certain recording possible area, without generating the magnetic field according to said magnetic field generating means during the time of scanning said laser beam from the head of said recording impossible area located just before said certain recording area to said pit located at the latest end side of said recording impossible area.
