Following [6] relating the matrix string theory to the light-cone superstring field theory, we write down two supercharges in the matrix string theory explicitly. After checking the supersymmetry algebra at the leading order, we proceed to discuss higherorder contact terms.

We developed a high density near field optical recording disc system with a solid immersion lens and two laser sources. In order to realize the near field optical recording, we used a phase change recording media and a molded polycarbonate substrate. The near field optical pick-up consists of a solid immersion lens with numerical aperture of 1.84. The clear eye pattern of 90.2 GB capacity (160nm track pitch and 62 nm per bit) was observed. The jitter using a limit equalizer was 10.0 % without cross-talk. The bit error rate using an adaptive PRML with 8 taps was 3.7e-6 without cross-talk. We confirmed that the near field optical disc system is a promising technology for a next generation high density optical disc system.

Key technologies for near-field recording/readout systems using a solid immersion lens (SIL) are summarized in this paper. Our system employing a SIL of 1.84 numerical aperture (NA) and a laser diode (LD) of 405 nm wavelength has realized the capacity of a 112 GB in a 12 cm diameter phase-change disc along with a write-power margin of ±11.2% and a data transfer rate of 36 Mbps. Such a larger-capacity data storage system should provide a high data transfer rate. A preliminary result of 1.84 NA dual-channel near-field recording/readout using a monolithic dual-beam LD with 412 nm wavelength is presented.
