MAGNETIC HEAD AND MAGNETIC RECORDING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize ultra-high density thermally assisted magnetic recording by generating near-field light in and at an optimum light irradiation position and light irradiation timing. SOLUTION: The position to be provided with a light irradiation means is confined within a distance half the magnetic pole width in the track width direction of a main magnetic pole from a trailing side terminal 101 of the main magnetic pole 100.
