Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A method for patterning a data recording medium, comprising:
determining portions of the data recording medium to be written with a pattern representing data;
bringing one or more plasmonic structures within a few tens of nanometers of the portions of the data recording media;
moving the data recording medium relative to the plasmonic structures;
processing the pattern representing data into a dose modulation signal;
simultaneously illuminating said portions of the data recording medium using photons having intensity modulated by the dose modulation signal, such that the photon illumination intensity is affected by
at least one of the plasmonic structures together with the modulation of the photons,
said modulation of the photons being synchronized with
the motion of the data recording medium and the pattern representing data.
