摘要:
A region (21) of a different magnetic energy from other portions is formed in a soft-magnetic film (1b) of which the axis of easy magnetization is perpendicular to the film surface, and which has been unidirectionally magnetized by the application of an external bias magnetic field. A cylindrical magnetic domain b magnetized in the direction opposite to that of the film (1b) by irradiation of the film surface with a light beam is formed at a first stable position within the region (21), and is moved to a second cylindrical magnetic domain c.b by irradiation with the light beam or to a second stable position by utilizing a temperature gradient, to enable stable recording and reading operations, and provide a reliable calculation function.
摘要:
Polarization inversion domains 2 are irregularly formed in a ferroelectric substrate 3 constituting an electro-optical element 1 at least in the propagation direction of a light beam A. An A.C. current signal is applied between electrodes 4 and 5. It is thereby arranged to disturb the phase of each of the light rays constituting a light beam whose coherent characteristic is high, such as a laser light or the like, and thereby to easily obtain the light beam whose coherent characteristic has been decreased.
