Abstract

Abstract A magnetooptical recording medium is disclosed which is fabricated by a so-called 2P method wherein a pattern of a guide groove (2a) or grooves or signal pits is formed by transfer to a photopolymerizable resin layer (3) formed on a substrate (1), wherein there are formed on the substrate (1) a high magnetic permeability layer (2), a photopolymerizable resin layer (3), an magnetooptical recording layer (4) and a transparent protective plate (6) in this order. By this arrangement, it becomes possible to improve an efficiency of a vertical magnetic field wherein an application of a magnetic field from the transparent protective plate (6) is possible and to form a precise pattern in the magnetooptical recording layer (4). Moreover, it is also possible to provide a double-sided magnetooptical recording medium by which a magnetic field-modulating recording is enabled.
