Abstract
An information device is an information device that records information on or reproduces information from an information recording medium (). The information device includes a light source () and a near-field light generating element () including a resonating section () configured such that plasmon resonance occurs between the resonating section () and a recording region (). The resonating section () causes the plasmon resonance when emission light from the light source is irradiated on the near-field light generating element (). A resonance enhancing film enhances the plasmon resonance between the resonating section () and the recording region (). The resonating section () generates near-field light and irradiates the near-field light on the recording region () from a recording layer side.
