摘要:
A small, high-precision, and cheap flying recording head having high mass-productivity, high recording density, and high transfer rate, a disk drive, and a method of manufacturing the flying recording head are disclosed. The flying recording head is manufactured by forming a semiconductor laser oscillation region by growing a semiconductor crystal on a rear end surface of a substrate made of a single crystal such as sapphire, and forming a air bearing surface in an output surface of the semiconductor laser and the substrate.

A master device and a slave device are each constituted of a transmitting section; a receiving section; and a control section including a three-dimensional position calculation section for calculating a three-dimensional position of the transmitting section of the counterpart master device or that of the counterpart slave device and an element drive section for driving an MEMS element. First, the master device outputs transmission light having comparatively narrow directivity, and the transmission light is two-dimensionally scanned. Next, the receiving section of the slave device receives that transmission light, calculates the transmission direction of the master device from the position of a spot of transmitted light on a light-detecting element array, and transmits the transmission light in that direction. At this point in time, scanning of the transmission light from the master device is stopped, and subsequently communication is initiated.

A heat-assisted magnetic recording head includes a thin film magnetic transducer having a pair of yokes and generating a magnetic field in a magnetic gap between two magnetic poles at the ends of the pair of yokes, and a heater placed in the vicinity of the magnetic gap and generating heat with an electric current. A part of a magnetic recording medium in the vicinity of the magnetic gap is heated by the heater to reduce a magnetic-coercive of the part of the magnetic recording medium and the magnetic field generated by the thin film magnetic transducer is applied to the part of the magnetic recording medium.

An optical head which implements high recording density of a recording medium and which is miniaturized in size and improved in data transfer rate, a disk apparatus, and a method for manufacturing the optical head are provided. A laser beam is emitted from a semiconductor laser, the laser beam is collimated by the collimator lens to a collimated beam and reflected by a mirror, condensed by an condense lens, and incident to an incident surface of a transparent condensing medium. The condensed beam which was incident to the incident surface is refracted by the incident surface, the refracted beam is condensed on a condense surface, a beam spot is formed on the condense surface, and a near field wave leaks from a small aperture. The near field wave leaked from the small aperture propagates in a recording layer of a recording. The beam is served for recording/reproduction on the recording layer.

A semiconductor laser device having an active layer which is comprised of a quantum well layer formed of a mixed crystal material, and barrier layers provided on both sides of the quantum well layer in such a manner as to sandwich the same, is characterized in that Ge is thermally diffused in a portion of the active layer to disorder the quantum well layer and the barrier layers at that portion so as to form a non-light-emitting area with a low refractive index, while the quantum well layer and the barrier layers at a portion where Ge is not diffused is formed as a refractive index waveguide which is a light-emitting area.

A semiconductor member has a structure wherein a first semiconductor layer is held between second and third semiconductor layers which have forbidden band widths greater than a forbidden band width of the first semiconductor layer, and wherein only the second semiconductor layer which is formed on a side of the first semiconductor layer close to a substrate is doped with impurities. The semiconductor member constructs the depletion type with the first and second semiconductor layers, and the enhancement type with the first and third semiconductor layers. A semiconductor device can be properly formed in the enhancement or depletion type by selectively connecting the semiconductor layers.

A method for recording and reproducing information characterized in that an information train in which synchronizing signals are arrayed at equal time intervals between information signals is recorded in an information track on a recording medium which is wobbled in synchronism with the synchronizing signals and at a frequency integral times the frequency of the synchronizing signals, that the information train recorded in the information track is read out by read-out means, and that a position of the read-out means is controlled on the basis of the information train read out. The wobbling waveform is 90.degree. out of phase with a harmonic component of the synchronizing signals.

A process for producing a magnetic head attaining high speed and high density recording, excellent in reproducibility and relatively inexpensive is provided as well as a magnetic head and a magnetic disk unit. A lower yoke film, an insulating film supporting a thin film coil and an upper yoke film connected at a back end thereof to a back end of the lower yoke film are consecutively piled on a back end surface of a flying slider, and a magnetic pole films and a deposited at a tip end of at least one of the lower yoke film and the upper yoke film, so as to form a magnetic gap. The gap of the surface of the magnetic pole facing a magnetic recording medium is determined by the working pattern of the thin film; therefore, a magnetic pole having a high aspect ratio can be easily produced.
