Abstract: A heat-assisted magnetic recording head includes a waveguide and a near-field transducer. The near-field transducer includes a plasmonic disk disposed proximal to the waveguide. The plasmonic disk includes a first plasmonic layer, a second plasmonic layer, and a middle layer. The first plasmonic layer is coupled to the waveguide. The second plasmonic layer is disposed distal to the waveguide relative to the first plasmonic layer. The middle layer is disposed between the first plasmonic layer and the second plasmonic layer.

Abstract: A recording head has a waveguide core layer that delivers light from a light source to a region proximate a magnetic write pole. A near-field transducer is formed of a thin film of Rh or Ir deposited over the waveguide core layer. The near-field transducer includes an enlarged part with two straight edges facing a media-facing surface and at obtuse angles relative to the media-facing surface. A peg extends from the enlarged part towards the media-facing surface. The waveguide core layer has a terminating end with terminating edges that align with the two straight edges of the near-field transducer.

Abstract: A waveguide core extends from an input coupler towards a media-facing surface of a read/write head. A cap is located between a terminating end of the waveguide core and the media-facing surface. The cap is formed of a high index of refraction, high-corrosion resistant material that is different than a material used to form the waveguide core. A near-field transducer is proximate the cap in a down-track direction. A head overcoat on the media-facing surface covers the cap.

Abstract: A waveguide a core extending along a light propagation and a coupling layer adjacent one side of the core along the light propagation direction. A gradient index material is adjacent to at least one side of the coupling layer. The gradient index material has a first refractive index proximate the coupling layer and a second refractive index away from the coupling layer. The gradient index material is configured to direct light from an input facet to the core layer.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a write head comprising a near-field transducer at a media-facing surface of the write head and a waveguide extending along a light-propagation direction. The waveguide is configured to receive light emitted from a light source at a fundamental transverse electric mode. The waveguide is configured to deliver the light to the near-field transducer at a transverse magnetic mode which directs surface plasmons to a recording medium in response thereto. The waveguide comprises a core with first and second tapers separated by a straight portion of constant cross sectional width. The first and second tapers successively decrease a cross-sectional width of the core as it nears the near-field transducer. The waveguide includes an end portion between the second taper and the near field transducer. The end portion comprises a top cladding layer, aside cladding layer, and a bottom cladding layer on the side cladding layer.

Abstract: An apparatus has an input surface configured to receive energy emitted from an energy source in a first mode. A mode order converter is configured to convert the energy from the first mode to a second mode. The waveguide of the apparatus has an input end disposed proximate the input surface and configured to receive the energy in the first mode. The waveguide has an output end disposed proximate a media-facing surface and configured to deliver energy in the second mode. The output end is at an oblique angle to a cross-track line at an intersection of the media-facing surface and a substrate-parallel plane.
