Abstract
A light emitting device for focusing a laser beam without adopting an optical lens system is provided, as well as a composite magnetic recording head and a magnetic recording device, which realize a smaller laser spot diameter and a sharp magnetic field distribution, whereby an optical-assisted high density magnetic recording can be realized, and which also realize a simplified head structure, and improvements in productivity and costs. The composite magnetic recording head is prepared by integrally forming a magnetic coil layer for use in magnetic recording at around the center of the surface-emitting laser aperture, and further, a shielding plate is formed at the center of the laser aperture. As a result, a laser beam can be focused on the irradiation surface of the magnetic recording medium at portion right below the shielding member so as to locally heat the irradiated portion, and further a magnetic field for magnetic recording is applied in the laser heated portion, thereby realizing a high density magnetic recording.
