    摘要: A TAMR (Thermal Assisted Magnetic Recording) write head uses the energy of optical-laser generated plasmons in a plasmon generator to locally heat a magnetic recording medium and reduce its coercivity and magnetic anisotropy. To enable the TAMR head to operate most effectively, the antenna is formed in three portions, a wide portion of uniform horizontal area, a tapered portion tapering towards the ABS of the write head and a narrow tip extending from the tapered portion to the ABS. The wide portion enhances coupling of optical radiation from a waveguide to surface plasmons generated within the generator, the tapered portion condenses and focuses the plasmons as they propagate towards the ABS and the narrow tip further focuses the surface plasmon field at the medium surface.

    摘要: Various embodiments of a TAMR head having a magnetic core antenna (MCA) with a recessed plasmon layer are disclosed. An end of the plasmon layer is separated from the ABS by a magnetic layer that transmits the plasmon mode from the plasmon layer and transmits magnetic flux from an adjacent main pole layer. Both of the MCA and magnetic layer may have a triangular shape from an ABS view. There may be a non-magnetic separation layer between the MCA magnetic core and the main pole. Furthermore, a magnetic shield may be included with a side at the ABS, a side facing an end of a waveguide that transmits electromagnetic radiation to the MCA, and a side facing an edge of the plasmon layer. The recessed plasmon layer allows an improved overlay of the thermal heating spot on the magnetic field gradient at the magnetic medium that provides better TAMR performance.

    摘要: A TAMR (Thermal Assisted Magnetic Recording) write head uses the energy of optical-laser generated plasmons in a plasmon antenna to locally heat a magnetic recording medium and reduce its coercivity and magnetic anisotropy. To enable the TAMR head to operate most effectively, the maximum gradient of the magnetic recording field should be concentrated in the small region being heated. Typically this does not occur because the spot being heated by the antenna is offset from the position at which the magnetic pole concentrates its magnetic field. The present invention incorporates a magnetic core within a plasmon antenna, so the antenna effectively becomes an extension of the magnetic pole and produces a magnetic field whose maximum gradient overlaps the region being heated by edge plasmons being generated in a conducting layer surrounding the antenna's magnetic core.

    摘要: A device for implementing thermally assisted magnetic recording, using a TE mode laser diode, and method for using it, are described. This device is shaped internally so as to provide three-dimensional self-focusing of plasmon radiation, thereby improving the coupling efficiency between the optical wave-guide and the plasmon generator as a result of ensuring a large overlap between these two modes.
