We have investigated high-density magneto-optical recording on a conventionally structured disk with a diameter of 64 millimeters using magnetic field modulation to achieve a capacity of 650 Mbytes. With the groove conditions optimized, the jitter with cross-talk from adjacent tracks was 7.2% and the recording power margin including overwriting and crosswriting was ±20%. As a result of minimizi...
