Method and apparatus for processing information on a recording member having a recording film capable of recording and erasing information in accordance with the change of a magnetizing direction, by utilizing a light induced thermo-magnetic effect, in which before the intensity of the laser light is switched at the high level eliminating the magnetization of the recording film in order to effect the recording and erasing operations by focusing the laser light on the recording film as a light spot, a magnetic field with the predetermined direction according to the recording and erasing operations is previously applied on the recording film, whereby the recording and erasing operations of the magnetized information can be effected with high speed and stably by applying the normal magnetic field in the direction according to the recording and erasing operations respectively.
A method of processing information for a recording member having a recording film capable of recording and erasing information by changing the direction of magnetization of the recording film, in which recording and erasing operations are effected on the basis of a light induced thermo-magnetic effect, and in which reproducing operation is effected on the basis of a magneto-optic effect, comprising the steps of:
An information processing apparatus in which recording and erasing operations are effected on the basis of a light induced thermo-magnetic effect, and in which a reproducing operation is effected on the basis of a magneto-optic effect, the apparatus comprising:
