摘要:
A magnetic sensing section is constituted by a magneto-resistive device in which a fixed magnetization layer, a non-magnetic layer, and a magnetization-free layer are deposited in that order on a first buffer layer that is deposited on a magnetic layer. A second buffer layer sandwiches the magnetic sensing section, and a biasing layer which covers right and left sides of the magnetic sensing section. The second buffer layer is deposited on the magnetic layer with a nonconductor layer interposed therebetween. A near field light generation section constituted by a second magnetic layer, a dielectric layer, and a metal layer is formed on a surface of the second buffer layer not adjacent to the nonconductor layer. The resultant magnetic sensor device can efficiently perform photo-assisted reproduction of information from a magnetic recording medium using a magnetic reproduction head or a magnetic reproducer.

There are provided a magnetic layer 2, a buffer layer 3 deposited on the magnetic layer 2, and a magnetic sensing section 7 constituted by a magneto-resistive device in which a fixed magnetization layer 4, a non-magnetic layer 5, and a magnetization-free layer 6 are deposited on the buffer layer 3 in this order. Further provided are a buffer layer 8 which sandwiches the magnetic sensing section 7 with the buffer layer 3 and a biasing layer 10 which covers the right and left sides of the part constituted by the buffer layer 3, the magnetic sensing section 7, and the buffer layer 8 and which is deposited on the magnetic layer 2 with a nonconductor layer 9 being interposed therebetween. On that surface, a near field light generation section 14 is formed which is constituted by a magnetic layer 11, a dielectric layer 12, and a metal layer 13. With this, it is possible to obtain a magnetic sensor device which can efficiently perform photo-assisted reproduction of information from a magnetic recording medium, a magnetic reproduction head and a magnetic reproducer using the device, and a magnetic reproduction method of a magnetic recording medium, using the magnetic reproducer.

In a GaN-based laser device having a GaN-based semiconductor stacked-layered structure including a light emitting layer, the semiconductor stacked-layered structure includes a ridge stripe structure causing a stripe-shaped waveguide, and has side surfaces opposite to each other to sandwich the stripe-shaped waveguide in its width direction therebetween. At least part of at least one of the side surfaces is processed to prevent the stripe-shaped waveguide from functioning as a Fabry-Perot resonator in the width direction.

This invention provides a surface plasmon polariton direction change device (1) for changing a propagation direction of a surface plasmon polariton (5). The surface plasmon polariton direction change device (1) includes a metal film support member (2), and a first metal film (3) and a second metal film (4) which are provided on a predetermined surface of the metal film support member (2), are provided adjacently to each other, and are different from each other in effective refractive index. The surface plasmon polariton direction change device (1) is characterized in that the first metal film (3) and the second metal film (4) are provided so that, in at least a part of a boundary between the first metal film (3) and the second metal film (4), an angle θ formed between (i) a line perpendicular to the boundary and (ii) the propagation direction of the surface plasmon polariton (5) satisfies 0°

Provided are a self-pinned spin valve magnetoresistance effect film, a magnetic sensor using the same, and a rotation angle detection device. The self-pinned spin valve magnetoresistance effect film has a strong coupling magnetic field in a pinned layer, a small reduction in the change in resistance, and superior resistance to magnetic fields without reducing the coercive force in a first ferromagnetic layer, which is a pinned layer in the film, even when exposed to a strong external magnetic field. By inserting a non-magnetic layer between a ground layer and a pinned layer to form the spin valve magnetoresistance effect film, the self-pinned spin valve magnetoresistance effect film having superior resistance to magnetic fields, a magnetic sensor using the same, and a rotation angle detection device are obtained.

Disclosed is a small-sized two-axis magnetic field sensor having a function to cause a magnetic field canceling an external offset magnetic field. The two-axis magnetic field sensor contains a plane coil disposed on a plane and four sets of magneto-resistance element pairs on a plane parallel to the plane coil. The plane coil includes at least two pairs of parallel conductors, and two magneto-resistance elements cross only a single conductor of the coil. A current for canceling the external offset magnetic field is determined in advance, and while a DC current that causes total magnetic fields of biasing magnetic fields plus a magnetic field for canceling the external offset magnetic field flows through the coil, intermediate potential outputs from the magneto-resistance element pairs are detected to measure a magnetic field direction, such as geo-magnetism.
