In a recording and reproducing apparatus, an optical disc is rotated in a rotating direction and an optical system focuses a laser beam on the optical disc to form a beam spot on the optical disc. The optical system is provided with a scanner which deflects the laser beam along a radial direction of the optical disc in such a manner that the beam spot follows a first scan trajectory along a first direction crossing the rotating direction and a second scan trajectory along a second direction different from the first direction. A first data track with a sequence of recording pits along the first scan trajectory is formed and arranged on the optical disc.

According to an embodiment, a light deflecting element includes a dielectric body, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a third electrode. Each of the second electrode and third electrode is configured to sandwich the dielectric body with the first electrode. The second electrode includes an electrode having a side that lies substantially orthogonal to an incident direction of a light beam, a side that is substantially parallel to the incident direction, and a side that intersects with the incident direction. The third electrode includes an electrode having a side that is aligned with the second electrode, a side that is substantially parallel to an incident direction of the light beam, and a side that intersects with the light beam, and that slopes in an opposite to that of the side of the second electrode that intersects with the light beam.

There is provided a practical magnetoresistance effect element which has an appropriate value of resistance, which can be sensitized and which has a small number of magnetic layers to be controlled, and a magnetic head and magnetic recording and/or reproducing system using the same. In a magnetoresistance effect element wherein a sense current is caused to flow in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the film, a resistance regulating layer is provided in at least one of a pinned layer, a free layer and an non-magnetic intermediate layer. The resistance regulating layer contains, as a principal component, an oxide, a nitride, a fluoride, a carbide or a boride. The resistance regulating layer may be a continuous film or may have pin holes. Thus, it is possible to provide a practical magnetoresistance effect element which has an appropriate value of resistance, which can be sensitized and which has a small number of magnetic layers, while effectively utilizing the scattering effect depending on spin.

In a magnetoresistance effect element wherein a sense current is caused to flow in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the film, if a pinned layer and a free layer have a stacked construction of a magnetic layer and a non-magnetic layer or a stacked construction of a magnetic layer and a magnetic layer, it is possible to provide a practical magnetoresistance effect element which has an appropriate value of resistance, which can be sensitized and which has a small number of magnetic layers, while effectively utilizing the scattering effect depending on spin.

A multilayer optical recording system to record information with light includes a lens unit, a recording medium, and a microscopic drive unit. The lens unit includes a metamaterial lens or a plasmon lens. The metamaterial lens has a first dielectric member in which first microstructures are implanted in a substantially regular manner. The plasmon lens has an aperture. The aperture is a hole or a slit created in a metal film. The microscopic drive unit is configured to adjust a relative position between the lens unit and the recording medium. In addition, the principal plane is placed to be in contact with the lens unit or to have a gap between the principal plane and the lens unit. Furthermore, the second microstructures are arranged periodically in a direction substantially perpendicular to the principal plane of the recording medium.
