摘要：

A laser light source for high-resolution near-field optics applications with an output power exceeding 1 mW (10(4) times the power from previous sources) and small (300 nm square to less than 50 nm square) output beam size is demonstrated. The very-small-aperture laser (VSAL) tremendously expands the range of applications possible with near-field optics and increases the signal-to-noise ratios and data rates obtained in existing applications. As an example, 250-nm-diam marks corresponding to 7.5 Gb/in.(2) storage density have been recorded and read back in reflection and transmission on a rewritable phase-change disk at 24 Mb/s with a 250-nm-square aperture VSAL. VSALs potentially enable data storage densities of over 500 Gb/in.(2) (up to 100 times today's magnetic or optical storage densities). (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
