Method for reproducing information on a recording medium

摘要

A method for reproducing information on a recording medium includes irradiating electromagnetic energy or light to the recording medium from one side with respect to the recording medium, applying a recording magnetic field to an electromagnetic energy or light irradiated position on the recording medium from the one side of irradiating electromagnetic energy or light, and detecting magnetic leakage flux emerging from the recording medium from the one side of irradiating electromagnetic energy or light.
