A |
Laser Beam |
B |
Objective Lens |
C |
Flying Head - Focus controlled by the hard disk-like air bearing,
thus eliminating a focus servo system |
D |
Solid Immersion Lens (SIL) - Results in a significantly reduced
magnetic bit cell size when compared to conventional technologies |
E |
Plastic Substrate |
F |
Evanescent Coupling - Near field coupling of a laser energy
creating sub-wavelength recorded feature size |
G |
First Surface Recording (Top of Substrate) - The hardened magnetic
material on the surface of the substrate enables low cost media and high areal densities |
H |
Lens/Substrate Spacing Controlled by Flying Head |
I |
Magnetic Coil - Magnetic coil in the head allows direct overwrite |
