Abstract

A recording method for a magneto-optic memory medium of exchange-coupled type having a recording layer of a low Curie point and high coercive force and a reading layer of a high Curie point and low coercive force, which comprises the steps of: applying a magnetic field to the magneto-optic memory medium to develop a predetermined data in the reading layer, and then applying both an optical beam and a magnetic field to the magneto-optic memory medium for writing the predetermined data in the recording layer, and simultaneously verifying the data upon the writing on the basis of a Kerr effect of the optical beam caused by the reading layer.
