Abstract

A magnetooptical recording medium provided with a first magnetic layer and a second magnetic layer having a higher Curie point and a lower coercive force than the first magnetic layer and being exchange coupled with the first magnetic layer satisfies the relation: ##EQU1## wherein H.sub.H is the coercive force of the first magnetic layer; H.sub.L is the coercive force of the second magnetic layer; M.sub.2 is the saturation magnetization of the second magnetic layer; h is the thickness thereof; and .sigma..sub.w is the magnetic wall energy between the first and second magnetic layers and a method of recording information on the same.
