Information recording device and information recording method

摘要

Information is recorded by preparing a recording medium having a recording layer on an electroconductive substrate transmitting electromagnetic wave and an electroconductive optical probe arranged proximate to the recording medium, and applying a voltage between the substrate and the optical probe. The recorded information is read by irradiating electromagnetic wave, preferably with a plurality of wavelengths, on the recording layer from the substrate side, and detecting electromagnetic wave oozed out on the surface of the recording layer by the optical probe. <IMAGE>
