Abstract
The present invention provides a recording/reproducing head, a recording/reproducing disk, and a recording/reproducing disk apparatus that are capable of high density recording, cost reduction, easy tracking control, and high speed seek operation. A collimated beam that is incident onto an incident surface of a transparent condensing medium is reflected on a reflecting film formed on the surface of a reflecting surface to condense on a second surface, and a beam spot is formed near the end of the second surface. The beam condensed on the beam spot leaks as a near field wave and is propagated to a magneto-optic recording film of a recording/reproducing disk, and information is OAM-recorded cooperatively with the magnetic field of a coil. In reproduction of the information, a leakage magnetic flux that comes from the recording film is detected by a magnetic sensor.
