摘要: A heat-assisted magnetic recording head is moved relative to a magnetic recording medium. The medium comprises a plurality of sectors. The sectors define a plurality of sector groups distributed around a circumference of the medium. The sectors of each sector group are written using different operational currents supplied to a laser diode of the head such that at least one sector from each sector group is written using one of the different operational currents. For each of the different operational currents, an average write performance metric is calculated for all sectors written at each of the different operational currents. A particular operational current of the different operational currents is determined that results in a best average write performance metric.

摘要: An apparatus comprises a slider configured for heat-assisted magnetic coupled to a controller. The slider comprises a writer, a heater, a near-field transducer, and an optical waveguide for communicating light from a laser diode to the near-field transducer. The controller is configured to set a target pre-write clearance of the slider prior to performing a write operation, set a target write clearance of the slider for performing the write operation, and determine a difference between the target pre-write and write clearances to define a target pre-write clearance offset. The controller is also configured to measure, for a plurality of different target pre-write clearance offsets, a writability metric for the slider while sweeping a laser diode current, and adjust the target pre-write clearance offset so that the writability metric reaches a predetermined threshold. The controller is further configured to perform subsequent write operations using the adjusted target pre-write clearance offset.

摘要: Method and apparatus for controlling the fly height of a transducer. In some embodiments, a data pattern is written to a rotating data recording surface using a transducer having a write element, a read element and a thermal assist energy source. A first protrusion distance for the read element induced by operation of the energy source is determined responsive to first and second readback amplitudes obtained from the data pattern using different first and second power levels applied to the energy source. A second protrusion distance for the write element induced by the energy source is determined responsive to the first protrusion distance.

摘要: A clearance heater of a write head is engaged with a boosted current that exceeds a steady-state current. The steady-state current causes the write head to maintain a desired clearance over a disk during writing, the boosted current being applied before a start of the writing. The boosted current is monotonically decreased before the start of the writing and the steady-state current is applied to the heater after the start of the writing.

摘要: A slider is configured for heat-assisted magnetic recording to a magnetic recording medium. A low- or non-modulation interface is defined between the slider and the medium. A contaminant is present on the slider and between the slider and the medium. A controller is configured to control the slider to dislodge the contaminant from the slider by performing modulation-based contact detection at a location of the medium where modulation-based contact detection can accurately detect head-medium contact. The controller is also configured to perform friction-based contact detection using the slider devoid of the contaminant.

摘要: A lumped-parameter function δ is determined that represents an average power dissipated by a write transducer when writing a signal to a magnetic recording medium. Temperatures of the write transducer are measured while varying the parameters to determine constants of the function δ. The function δ is used to adjust power applied to a clearance control heater when writing to the magnetic recording medium.

摘要: A method includes setting a heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) device located in a data storage system having a laser to an operating temperature. A threshold laser current is determined. An optimal laser current is determined. The threshold laser current and the optimal laser current are stored in memory. The steps of determining a threshold laser current, determining an optimal laser current and storing the threshold laser current and the optimal laser current into the calibration table are repeated until acceptable device performance is achieved at more than one operating temperature.
