Abstract

A magnetic memory has a substrate, a magnetic film provided on the substrate including a recording medium capable of producing a recording carrier, and a light waveguide layer on the magnetic film or on that surface of the substrate which is opposite to a surface on which the magnetic film is present. Recording and reproduction of information are effected relative to the magnetic film by a light propagated through the light waveguide layer.
