Abstract

Static recording characteristics of super-resolution near-field structure with bismuth (Bi) mask layer and antimony (Sb) mask layer were investigated and compared. The experimental results show that Bi mask layer can also concentrate energy into the center of a laser beam at a low laser energy input similar to Sb, which may be because that Bi film exhibits giant nonlinearity at low laser intensity. The direct observation of laser-recording marks may help better understand the working mechanism of the super-RENS, super-resolution ablation, and other nonlinear switching phenomena.
