Description
Summary:From the viewpoint of assembly, evaluation results and an autoalignment method for the focusing unit (FU) of a near-field recording (NFR) system are proposed. Generally, the size of the focusing unit composed of the objective lens and the solid immersion lens is smaller than that of the conventional focusing unit. Hence there are difficulties in the precise assembly of the small focusing unit. We developed an evaluation system with an interferometer and evaluated some focusing unit samples, then a tolerance analysis of the assembly error between the SIL and the objective lens and an interference pattern analysis of the assembly error were carried out. A pattern recognition method using a neural network is presented with features, which were extracted from interference patterns due to errors in the FU.
