    Abstract: A cross-track profile of a known good test track on a recording medium is read during operation of a data storage device. Two or more center locations of the test track are determined at two or more different amplitude levels via a read transducer. A health condition of the read transducer is determined by comparing the two or more center locations of the test track with one another.

    Abstract: A method of controlling laser output in a heat assisted magnetic recording device can be performed by control circuitry in a data storage device. The method includes measuring a temperature, measuring laser output power of a laser, determining a power error by subtracting an optimal laser output power from the measured laser output power and comparing the power error to at least one threshold to determine whether an applied current to the laser needs to be adjusted. The at least one threshold is related to how great the power error can be while maintaining the integrity of data on a recording medium.

    Abstract: A circuit may be configured to reduce the power consumption and extend the life of a near field transducer of a heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) device by pulsing a laser. The current that drives the laser may be of a frequency and magnitude so as to approximate the value of a continuous current in a continuous, non-pulsed laser. A system on chip (SOC), which may include a HAMR channel, can generate a laser data signal that may be synchronous with, and offset from, a write signal by a certain period of time, and may calculate certain parameters such as peak current and pulse width that may be applied to the signals in a preamp. The preamp signals can be used to program data to a disc medium.
