Abstract

<jats:p>We have investigated an in-plane magnetized readout-layer-based magnetic domain expansion phenomenon in a magneto-optical (MO) medium. Very high-density 0.2 μm packed domains are expanded up to three times the readout signal level in comparison with the conventional approach of applying alternative external field in the readout process. This result suggests that more than 10 Gbits/in.Reference 2 MO recording density may be achieved by implementing the domain expansion technique, using even the currently available 680 nm laser and numerical aperture of 0.55.</jats:p>
