Abstract:
A dual-pulse excitation method for ultra-fast, super-resolution all-optical magnetic recording includes the steps of: providing a first excitation pulse and a second modulation pulse; and focusing the first excitation pulse and the second modulation pulse, and then radiating the two pulses in sequence to a magneto-optical recording medium, so that an area of the magneto-optical recording medium irradiated undergoes opto-magnetic reversal. By controlling the time delay, spatial overlapping area, and energy density ratio between the dual femtosecond laser pulses, it can induce a second reversal of the magnetization field in the spatial overlapping area of the two pulses on the magneto-optical material that can achieve single-pulse opto-magnetic reversal to obtain all-optical magnetic recording beyond the diffraction limit. This process takes place within several hundred picoseconds, thus providing an effective technical means for ultra-high density and ultra-fast magnetic storage.
