    摘要: A thermally assisted magnetic head includes a main magnetic pole layer, a near-field light generating layer having a generating end part generating near-field light arranged within a medium-opposing surface, and an optical waveguide guiding light to the near-field light generating layer. The thermally assisted magnetic head includes a base layer which a base groove part having a width gradually getting smaller along a depth direction and extending in an intersecting direction intersecting with the medium-opposing surface is formed. The near-field light generating layer has an in-groove generating layer formed inside of the base groove part. The in-groove generating layer is formed along an inner wall surface of the base groove part and has a thin-film like structure.

    摘要: A heat-assisted magnetic recording head includes a slider, an edge-emitting laser diode fixed to the slider, and an external mirror fixed to the laser diode. The laser diode has an emitting end face that includes an emission part for emitting laser light; a mounting surface that lies at an end in a direction perpendicular to the plane of an active layer and faces the slider; and a rear surface opposite to the mounting surface. The external mirror includes: a first to-be-fixed part disposed along the emitting end face; a second to-be-fixed part disposed along the rear surface; and a coupling part that couples the first and second to-be-fixed parts to each other. The first to-be-fixed part has a reflecting surface that reflects the laser light emitted from the emission part toward the waveguide.

    摘要: A near-field light generating element has an outer surface including a bottom surface that lies at an end closer to a top surface of a substrate, a waveguide facing surface that lies at an end farther from the top surface of the substrate and faces a waveguide, a front end face located in a medium facing surface, and a side surface that connects the bottom surface, the waveguide facing surface and the front end face to each other. The front end face includes a first side that lies at an end of the bottom surface, a tip that lies at an end farther from the top surface of the substrate and forms a near-field light generating part, a second side that connects an end of the first side to the tip, and a third side that connects the other end of the first side to the tip. The waveguide facing surface includes a width changing portion that has a width in a direction parallel to the bottom surface and the front end face, the width decreasing with decreasing distance to the front end face.

    摘要: A magnetic head includes first and second coils, a main pole, a first shield, and first and second return path sections. The first shield and the first return path section are located forward of the main pole in the direction of travel of the recording medium. The first return path section connects the main pole and the first shield so that a first space is defined. The second return path section is located backward of the main pole in the direction of travel of the recording medium so that a second space is defined. The first coil includes at least one first coil element passing through the first space. The second coil includes a plurality of second coil elements passing through the second space. The at least one first coil element is smaller in number than the second coil elements.
