Popis: Tripled areal density optical recording was realized with the combination of a high power laser-diode pumped intracavity frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser (SHG green laser), a low noise GdFeCo/TbFeCo double-layered magneto-optical (MO) disk, and high sensitivity photodetectors optimized for the wavelength of the light source. A high carrier-to-noise (C/N) ratio of more than 48 dB and a bit error rate of less than 3×10-6 by (2, 7) run-length-limited (RLL) mark position recording was obtained at a mark length of 0.45 µm (0.6 µm/bit) for a disk with a 0.9 µm track pitch.
