Nanoscale ridge aperture as near-field transducer for heat-assisted magnetic recording.

چکیده
Near-field transducer based on nanoscale optical antenna has been shown to generate high transmission and strongly localized optical spots well below the diffraction limit. In this paper, nanoscale ridge aperture antenna is considered as near-field transducer for heat-assisted magnetic recording. The spot size and transmission efficiency produced by ridge aperture are numerically studied. We show that the ridge apertures in a bowtie or half-bowtie shape are capable of generating small optical spots as well as elongated optical spots with desired aspect ratios for magnetic recording. The transmission efficiency can be improved by adding grooves around the apertures.

Subdiffraction light focusing using a cross sectional ridge waveguide nanoscale aperture.
We report a new type of plasmonic nanoscale ridge aperture and its fabrication process which is based on layer-by-layer planar lithography. This new fabrication method allows us to create desired nanoscale features of a plasmonic ridge waveguide nanoscale aperture, which helps to confine a near-field spot to sub-wavelength dimensions. Numerical simulations using Finite Element Method (FEM) are ...
متن کاملComparative study of optical near-field transducers for heat-assisted magnetic recording
Heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR), widely considered to be the next generation technology for high-density data storage devices, uses a tiny plasmonic antenna called a near-field transducer (NFT) to focus light down to a subdiffraction volume. This results in a temporary and local rise in temperature of the recording medium thereby reducing its coercivity, allowing the external magnetic f...

متن کاملPatterned medium for heat assisted magnetic recording
Heat assisted magnetic recording HAMR is a potential solution to extend the limits of conventional magnetic recording. In HAMR, the heating of the recording medium is achieved with a near-field optical transducer. Although the literature suggests novel transducers, there is little consideration of the optical and thermal aspects of the magnetic medium. In this letter we suggest a recording medi...
