Apparatus and method for high energy transfer between magnetic recording head and resonant antenna

Abstract

An apparatus for recording information on a magnetic medium can be provided, which can include, for example, a plasmonic transducer(s)/waveguide and a resonant antenna(s) of different forms and shapes spaced at a distance from the plasmonic transducer(s)/waveguide, where the resonant antenna(s) can be configured to receive or maintain the magnetic medium thereon. The resonant antenna(s) can be in the form of nanorods, spheres, or other plasmonic structures able to support a localized surface plasmon. The resonant antenna(s) can be achieving either by structuring the metal below recording media or by drop-casting/depositing nanoparticles below a recording media. The size of the nanoantenna can be based on the achieving high field enhancement between plasmonic transducer/waveguide and matching an impedance of the transducer(s).
