Abstract

We have developed a new light intensity modulation recording method called Domain Tail Erasing (DTE). This new recording method enables high-density recording far beyond the optical resolution limit with a medium combining the layer structure of Domain Wall Displacement Detection (DWDD) with that of Light Intensity Modulation Direct Overwrite (LIMDOW). Recording performance nearly identical to that with Magnetic Field Modulation (MFM) was confirmed with this method, using conventional optics with a wavelength of 660 nm and an NA of 0.60. However, the DTE method still requires a bias magnet, which remains a disadvantage in cases in which a thinner drive apparatus is required.

We have therefore also made the bias magnets unnecessary by introducing a device to generate a magnetic field as a magnetic film included inside the medium.
