    摘要: A plasmon generator has an outer surface including a plasmon exciting part, and has a near-field light generating part located in a medium facing surface. The plasmon exciting part faces an evanescent light generating surface of a waveguide's core with a predetermined distance therebetween. The outer surface of the plasmon generator further includes first and second inclined surfaces that are each connected to the plasmon exciting part. The first and second inclined surfaces increase in distance from each other with increasing distance from the plasmon exciting part. The plasmon generator includes a shape changing portion where the angle of inclination of each of the first and second inclined surfaces with respect to the evanescent light generating surface increases continuously with decreasing distance to the medium facing surface.

    摘要: A plasmon generator has a near-field light generating part located in a medium facing surface. The plasmon generator has an outer surface including a plasmon exciting surface and a plasmon propagating surface that face toward opposite directions. The plasmon exciting surface is substantially in contact with an evanescent light generating surface of a waveguide's core. The plasmon propagating surface is in contact with a dielectric layer that has a refractive index lower than that of the core. The plasmon exciting surface includes a first width changing portion. The plasmon propagating surface includes a second width changing portion. Each of the first and second width changing portions has a width that decreases with decreasing distance to the medium facing surface, the width being in a direction parallel to the medium facing surface and the evanescent light generating surface.

    摘要: A thermally-assisted magnetic recording head enables even steeper magnetization reversal between adjacent magnetic domains of a magnetic recording medium and satisfies the demand for high SN ratio and high recording density. The thermally-assisted magnetic recording head includes a pole that generates a writing magnetic field from an end surface that forms a part of an air bearing surface that opposes a magnetic recording medium, a waveguide through which light for exciting surface plasmon propagates, and a plasmon generator that couples to the light in a surface plasmon mode. The plasmon generator has a plane part and a projection part, the pole has a projection part opposing surface that opposes the projection part, and the distance between the projection part opposing surface and the projection part is 10-40 nm.
