In the ongoing effort to achieve ultra high density Magneto-Optical recording, Laser Pumped Magnetic Field Modulation (LP-MFM) and Magnetic Amplifying Magneto-Optical System (MAMMOS) are considered promising methods. Using LP-MFM, crescent domains are recorded in a recording layer. Micro-magnetic simulations for the MAMMOS readout have already been reported assuming a crescent domain and red laser irradiation. Huth's equation simulations for the MAMMOS readout have also been reported assuming a circular recorded domain and blue laser irradiation. Micro-magnetic simulations for the MAMMOS readout assuming a blue laser irradiation, however, have not so far been reported. This paper presents the analysis of the combination of a 405nm blue laser and the MAMMOS readout from crescent recorded domains using the micro-magnetic simulations. In this work, MAMMOS readout from a crescent recorded domain is shown to be possible even with blue laser irradiation.
