Abstract: The invention features an optical disk drive having a pivotable arm configured to position an optical drive head over a selected portion of an optical disk. The disk drive has a light source mounted to the arm configured to generate a beam of light. A reflector of the disk drive is configured to receive the beam of light and direct the beam to a selected portion of the optical drive head.

Abstract: An electro-optical storage system based on air-bearing-suspended optical head in a near-field configuration. The system comprises a read/write head and a head positioning system, an optics module (1702) including beam relay optics and signal detectors (1804), an optical medium (1714) and a corresponding medium driving unit, and an electronic control system. The optical head includes a near-field lens with a high index of refraction and in a near-field regime has a numerical aperture greater than unity when the spacing between an exit facet of the optical head and a recording layer in an optical medium is a fraction of the wavelength.
