Abstract
The magnetooptical recording performance of Co/Pt and GdTbFe-based disks was compared at three wavelengths. At 820 and 647 nm, the carrier-to-noise ratio of the GdTbFe disks was higher (2-3 dB) due to a lower noise level. At 458-nm wavelength, Co/Pt performed 3 dB better than the GdTbFe disk. The crystalline microstructure of Co/Pt did not cause a higher noise level than that of GdTbFe
