Abstract:
A recording method for a magneto-optical recording medium, comprising recording a signal while, according to the signal to be recorded, a magnetic field is modulated with a magnetic head that is equipped with a slider and glides or floats on a magnetic super resolution type magneto-optical recording medium that attains a signal only from one portion of an irradiation domain of a reading beam, whereinin an operation to perform a test-writing preceding the recording, a deletion operation is performed by irradiating continuous light while applying a constant deletion magnetic field,after the deletion operation, test-writing is performed with a mark pitch that is smaller than a track pitch, while changing the power for recording through light modulation, anda recording power that avoids a condition of the recording marks resembling overlapping circles is determined through the test-writing.
