AbstractTwo main ingredients of plasmonics are surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) and localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR) as they provide a high degree of concentration of electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of metal surfaces, which is well beyond that allowed by the diffraction limit of optics. Those properties have been used in the new technique of heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) to overcome an existing limit of conventional magnetic recording by utilizing a near-field transducer (NFT). The NFT designs are based on excitation of surface plasmons on a metal structure, which re-radiate with a subdiffraction limited light spot confined in the near field. In this paper, we propose a novel “droplet”-shaped NFT, which takes full advantage of a recenltly proposed Mach–Zehnder Interferometer (MZI), a coupling arrangement that allows optimal coupling of light to the transducer. The droplet design ensures better impedance match with the recording media and, consequently, better coupling of power. The droplet design results in very high enhancement of the electric field and allows the confinement of light in a spot size much smaller than the present stateof- the-art lollipop transducer.
