Abstract
Near-field optical recording media with a nanocomposite cover-layer were prepared and tested using a gap servo, near-field recording system with an effective numerical aperture of 1.85. The refractive index of the nanocomposite cover-layer, which has a smooth surface, is 1.86, yielding a successful gap servo operation. However, the recording density cannot be maximized due to the refractive index of the cover-layer being lower than the required value for the effective numerical aperture. A recording density of 95 GB per disc can be achieved with a nanocomposite cover-layer having a refractive index of 1.86. The readout signal from 110 GB is not clear due to the reduced eventual numerical aperture in conjunction with the limited refractive index of the cover-layer.
