Abstract
Current status on near - field recording / readout systems using Solid Immersion Lens (SIL) is reported. Our system employing a SIL of 1.84 NA and a Laser Diode (LD) of 405 nm wavelength has realized the capacity to 112 GB in a 12 cm - diameter phase - change disc along with the write-power margin of +/-11.2 % and the data transfer rate of 36 Mbps. Key technologies are summarized in this paper. As a recent achievement on our near - field optical disc system, we present a result of a 1.84 - NA dual-channel near-field recording/readout by using a monolithic dual-beam LD with 412 nm wavelength.
