<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a micro-integrated probe type head and an optical recording system using the same for recording and reading-out high-density optical information in a near-field optical recording manner. <P>SOLUTION: The provided micro-integrated probe type head and the optical recording system using the same use a concept of a head that records/reproduces the information by focusing a beam to a probe through a waveguide, a microlens, and a micro-mirror, and by detecting a reflected beam. In this case, the probe is formed by a silicon process to have an aperture with a size of tens of nanometers. By driving the head in a disk actuation structure, high- density near-field optical information having a recording size of 50 to 100 nm is recorded/reproduced at a high speed in a manner of possibly using a conventional tracking technology of an optical disk (ODD) or a hard disk drive (HDD). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO |
