Abstract

A reproducing apparatus which reproduces a charge latent image recorded in a recording medium. The apparatus has an electromagnetic radiation source, an optical system for leading an electromagnetic radiation ray emitted from the electromagnetic radiation source in a direction toward a recording medium on which an object information to be read is prerecorded as a charge latent image, and a read head arranged closely facing to the recording medium and arranged in series in a travelling path of the electromagnetic radiation ray. The read head is of a multilayer structure comprising a support base plate, a photo modulation material layer for generating a mode modulation of said electromagnetic radiation ray which passes the photo modulation material layer therethrough in response to intensity of an electric field by said charge latent image, and an electrode for applying a predetermined electric field to said photo modulation layer, and for allowing to receive the electromagnetic radiation ray in a read wavelength range and transmit thereof to the photo modulation layer, an output surface facing to a processor for emitting thereto the electromagnetic ray having passed through the elec…
