Popis: We developed solid immersion lenses made of a KTaO3 monocrystal. The refractive index of KTaO3 is 2.382 at a wavelength of 405 nm. Using KTaO3 as the raw material of a solid immersion lens, we could design an effective numerical aperture of 2.20. We observed an eye pattern of a 150 GB capacity with a 130 nm track pitch and a 47.6 nm bit length. The areal density is 104.3 Gbit/in.2.
