A third order nonlinear optical material, As2Se3 was proposed for super resolution near field structure disk. As2Se3 was deposited by thermal evaporation technique. Composition, phase, surface morphology, linear/non-linear optical properties were obtained from EPMA, XRD, AFM, UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer and VASE. As2Se3 thin film showed large non-linear optical characteristics (XR(3) =7.42×10-7 m2/w, γ=1.268×10-5m2/w) and self-focusing phenomenon. Super resolution effects of the As2Se3 thin films were measured by using the laser beam profiler. As a result, recording density can be enhanced by 2.3 times, in case of 350nm As2Se3 thin film was deposited as super-RENS.
