  • Dielectric resonator driven near field transducer
    Patent number: 9246549
    Abstract: An optical device includes a near field transducer; and a dielectric resonant structure coupled to the near field transducer; wherein the dielectric resonant structure comprises a dielectric material that decreases a dissipation of energy in the dielectric resonant structure, relative to other dissipations of energy associated with other materials; and wherein the decrease in the dissipation of energy increases an efficiency of energy transfer from the near field transducer to a target structure, relative to other efficiencies of energy transfer from the near field transducer to the target structure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 2013
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2016
    Assignee: Carnegie Mellon University
    Inventors: James A. Bain, Matthew J. Chabalko, Tuviah E. Schlesinger, Yi Luo, Yunchuan Kong
