NEAR-FIELD OPTICAL HEAD, NEAR-FIELD OPTICAL HEAD DEVICE, NEAR-FIELD OPTICAL INFORMATION DEVICE AND NEAR-FIELD OPTICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

摘要

FIELD: physics.;SUBSTANCE: near-field optical head has a slider which holds a light source and a scattering element. The scattering element has a plane lying on the side of the light source almost perpendicular to the recording medium. The end of the scattering element generates near-field light and propagates it onto the recording medium.;EFFECT: miniaturisation of the near-field optical head.;14 cl, 15 dwg
