    摘要: A magnetic recording head capable of a satisfying thermally-assisted magnetic recording without depending on the use of a near-field light generator is provided. The head comprises a waveguide and a main magnetic pole having a main pole tip. Further, at least a portion of the main pole tip is embedded in a groove provided in the upper surface of the waveguide. Further, a second clad layer is provided on the first clad layer and on a rear side from the main pole tip. This configuration of the first and second clad layers suppresses the absorption of the light propagating through the waveguide by the main magnetic pole. Further, the configuration in which at least a portion of the main pole tip is embedded in the groove can cause the distance between the light spot center of the waveguide and the main magnetic pole to be sufficiently small.

    摘要: A magnetic recording apparatus includes a magnetic recording medium having a magnetic recording layer, a thin-film magnetic head with a microwave-band magnetic drive function, the head having a write field generation means that generates a write field to the magnetic recording medium in response to a write signal, and a microwave generator that is provided independent of the write field generation means and generates an alternating magnetic field in plane having a microwave-band frequency when microwave-excitation current is fed, an excitation current generation means that generates the microwave-excitation current by amplitude-modulating microwave carrier current with a modulating signal having a fixed period, and a write signal supply means that generates the write signal and applies it to the write field generation means of the thin-film magnetic head.
