A new scheme called MAMMOS for magnetic expansion readout MO is introduced with the aim of achieving high-density recording. A magnetic expansion phenomenon was observed in a magneto-static coupled-type medium with an in-plane magnetization readout layer using dc laser power and a dc magnetic field in the readout process. By taking advantage of this unique expansion phenomenon, it is possible to resolve 0.22 μm domains and to obtain a clear signal in new MAMMOS media.
