Abstract

A magneto-optic disk reading head system including an external semiconductor laser resonator. A magneto-optic disk forms a part of the external resonator. In the external resonator, orthogonal two mode oscillations are established to produce a beat signal used for reading data stored in the magneto-optic disk. The magneto-optic disk reading head system is a floating type reading head.
