To provide an information recording method, an information recording
apparatus and an information reproducing method and an apparatus for a
domain wall mobile type magneto-optical medium. In the information
recording method, a light beam scans on the medium for heating and at the
same time a magnetic field modulated corresponding to the information is
applied to a heated point, and a recording magnetic domain having an arc
shaped magnetic domain wall bending convex in a forward direction of an
operation of the light beam is formed so that the information is recorded.
The information recording apparatus, includes an optical head to radiate
the light beam for executing the information, a magnetic head to generate
a magnetic field modulated corresponding to the information, and a unit
for causing the optical head, the magnetic head and the medium to
relatively move.
