We show that our recently reported microwave photonic jet technique for detection of deeply
subwavelength pits in a metal substrate can be extended to optical wavelengths for …

We report on the results of theoretical investigation of the parameters of photonic nanojets
formed near the shadow surface of micron-sized dielectric spheres irradiated by a laser …

The near-field air-gap controller for solid immersion lens (SIL)-based near-field recording
(NFR) systems has been required to improve its robustness to dynamic disturbances …

Based on the Richards–Wolf vector diffraction theory, the intensity distributions in the
recording sample near a solid immersion lens are calculated for two different radially …

A near-field optical technology using a solid immersion lens (SIL) has been actively studied
to expand the storage capacity higher than 100 Gbytes per layer in a 12-cm-sized optical …

We propose a high-speed and precise gap servo control system that is based on the feed-
forward control method that can reduce the harmonic disturbance (RHD-FFC) on a near-field …

We consider the spatial and amplitude characteristics of PNJ forming in the neighborhood of
the shadow surface of micron-sized composite particles consisting of a nucleus and a shell …

We propose a near-field optical recording flexible optical disk (NFR-FOD) for high-density
recording at a high data transfer rate. We built a prototype high-density NFR-FOD that had a …

We report on the realization of solid immersion lens (SIL)-based near-field (NF) optics with
an annular aperture, which is targeted to achieve high optical resolution. A numerical …
