Zusammenfassung:This thermally-assisted magnetic recording head includes: a waveguide; a magnetic pole; and a plasmon generator having a first region and a second region, in which the first region has an one end exposed on an air-bearing surface and another end located on an opposite side of the air-bearing surface, and in which the second region is coupled to the another end of the first region and has a volume greater than a volume of the first region. The first region includes a high-density region having a density that is greater than the density of the second region.
