Limbach & Limbach, LLP
Magneto-optical head capable of operation under inclination of the disc
 A head unit is provided which is able to satisfactorily record/reproduce an information signal to and from a disk even if the disk can considerably be inclined (deflected) by a load applied by the head. The load applied from the magnetic head to the disk is set to be not larger than an upper limit which is calculated in accordance with a permissible range for incident angles of laser beams emitted from the optical head to the disc-shape recording medium, the thickness of the disc-shape recording medium and the radius of the disc-shape recording medium. As an alternative to this, the load is set to be not larger than an upper limit calculated in accordance with a permissible range of the amount of deviation between the point to which laser beams emitted from the optical head to the disc-shape recording medium and a point to which laser beams are converged, the thickness of the disc-shape recording medium and the radius of the disc-shape recording medium.
