A method of manufacturing a thermally-assisted magnetic head includes aligning the light source unit to the thermally-assisted magnetic head section on the slider body; and performing a bonding between the unit substrate and the slider body with a bonding layer in between. And process of the bonding includes irradiating the bonding layer with a first laser shot, pausing for a time interval after the first laser shot, and then irradiating a second laser shot, wherein a first irradiating power of the first laser shot is weaker than a second irradiating power of the second laser shot, and a first irradiating time of the first laser shot is shorter than a second irradiating time of the second laser shot. The method can keep an accurate alignment of the unit substrate with respect to the slider after a bonding process and, in turns improve performance of the thermally-assisted magnetic head.

A light source-unit comprises a laser diode, a sub-mount which the laser diode is joined, and a heater which is joined on a joint surface of the sub-mount. The sub-mount comprises a pair of barrier-members. The barrier-members are formed with lower thermal conductivity material which thermal conductivity is lower than joining metal which is used for joining the laser diode and the sub-mount. The barrier-members are formed on the joint surface so as to sandwich the heater.
