EXCITATION OF A NEAR-FIELD TRANSDUCER USING COMBINED TRANSVERSE ELECTRIC AND TRANSVERSE MAGNETIC MODES |
| 摘要 |
A method involves receiving light from a light source at a fundamental transverse electric (TE00) mode or a fundamental transverse magnetic (TM00) mode. A waveguide polarization multiplexes the light to a combined mode that includes the TM00 mode and a first higher-order transverse electric (TE10) mode. A near-field transducer is excited via the light at the combined mode. |

1. A method comprising:
receiving light from a light source at a fundamental transverse electric (TE00) mode or a fundamental transverse magnetic (TM00) mode; polarization multiplexing, via a waveguide, the light to a combined mode comprising the TM00 mode and a first higher-order transverse electric mode TE10; and exciting a near-field transducer via the light at the combined mode, the excited near-field transducer directing surface plasmons to a recording medium in response thereto. |
