    摘要: A plasmon generator has an outer surface including a propagation edge, and has a near-field light generating part lying at an end of the propagation edge and located in a medium facing surface. The propagation edge faces an evanescent light generating surface of a waveguide's core with a predetermined distance therebetween and extends in a direction perpendicular to the medium facing surface. The propagation edge is arc-shaped in a cross section parallel to the medium facing surface. The plasmon generator includes a shape changing portion in which a radius of curvature of the propagation edge in the cross section parallel to the medium facing surface continuously decreases with decreasing distance to the medium facing surface.

    摘要: A thermally-assisted magnetic recording head includes a waveguide through which a light for exciting surface plasmon propagates, a near-field optical device configured to be coupled with the light in a surface plasmon mode and to emit near-field light from a near-field-light-generating end surface that forms a portion of an opposed-to-medium surface, and a magnetic pole for generating write field from its end on the opposed-to-medium surface side. The near-field optical device includes a contact-to-waveguide surface having a contact to the waveguide, and a propagation edge provided on a side opposite to the contact-to-waveguide surface, extending to the near-field-light-generating end surface, and configured to propagate there on the surface plasmon excited by the light. A gap between a near-field optical device-opposed surface of the magnetic pole and the propagation edge of the near-field optical device is larger at a section far from the end on the opposed-to-medium surface side than that at a section near the on the opposed-to-medium surface side.

    摘要: Provided is a thermally-assisted magnetic recording head capable of setting the near-field light (NFL-) emission point to be sufficiently close to the write-field-generating portion. The head comprises a magnetic pole, a waveguide propagating light, and a NFL-generator coupled with the light in surface plasmon mode. The NFL-generator comprises a propagation edge extending to the NFL-generating end surface, at least a portion of the propagation edge being opposed to the waveguide with a distance, and the magnetic pole has a surface contact with a surface portion of the NFL-generator including no propagation edge. Therefore, the distance between the magnetic-pole end surface and the NFL-generating end surface becomes zero. The propagation edge is not contacted with the magnetic pole. Accordingly, the surface plasmon can propagate along on the propagation edge without being absorbed by the pole. Thus, the NFL-emission point is ensured to be at the end point of the propagation edge.
