Abstract

See full text

A method involves receiving light from a light source at a fundamental transverse electric (TE00) mode or a fundamental transverse magnetic (TM00) mode. A waveguide polarization multiplexes the light to a combined mode that includes the TM00 mode and a first higher-order transverse electric (TE10) mode. A near-field transducer is excited via the light at the combined mode.
