Nanoscale ridge aperture as near-field transducer for heat-assisted magnetic recording.
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 sh...
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...
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 کاملPlasmonic near-field transducer for heat-assisted magnetic recording
Plasmonic devices, made of apertures or antennas, have played significant roles in advancing the fields of optics and opto-electronics by offering subwavelength manipulation of light in the visible and near infrared frequencies. The development of heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) opens up a new application of plasmonic nanostructures, where they act as near field transducers (NFTs) to lo...
متن کاملPatterned media for 10 Tbit/in2 utilizing dual-section “ledge” elements
ABSTRACT A dual layer patterned element magnetic recording medium design is presented that is expected to satisfy areal densities at 10Tbit/in. Each element consists of a small high anisotropy initial layer on top of which is deposited an exchange coupled soft layer of approximately equal thickness that extends in the recording direction almost to an adjacent element. This design has two distin...
