Abstract
A method and an apparatus for MO recording that allow real overwrite by light power modulation with a combination of a storage medium consisting of a single-layer RE-TM film and a single-laser source. The medium has a Curie temperature not less than about 500.degree. C. and has high saturation magnetization around 200.degree. C. The coercive force drops to a level that allows the magnetization to be reversed by the demagnetization field at around 200.degree. C.
