Magnetically induced superresolution hy center aperture detection (MSR-CAD) using pulsed and conventional dc schemes were applied to magneto-optical disks to quantitatively evaluate readout performances. By simulation and experiments, it was found that carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) in the pulsed-laser readout was ahout 2.5 dB higher than that in the dc readout scheme at mark size of 0.45 pm or shorter. Therefore, pulsed readout is feasible to improve CNR and recording density in MSR-CAD disks.
