摘要: A recording head includes a waveguide core layer that delivers light from a light source to a region proximate a magnetic write pole. A near-field transducer that is formed of a thin metal film is 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 near-field transducer includes a metal aperture plate at the media-facing surface. The metal aperture plate surrounds at least three sides of the end of the peg.

摘要: A recording head has a waveguide that delivers optical energy from an energy source and a write pole extending to a media-facing surface of the recording head. The recording head also has a near-field transducer coupled to receive the optical energy from the waveguide and emit surface plasmons from the media-facing surface towards a recording medium while the write pole applies a magnetic field to the recording medium. The near-field transducer has an extended portion that, as-manufactured, protrudes beyond the media-facing surface by a first distance.

摘要: A write head includes a waveguide, a magnetic pole, and a near-field transducer. The near-field transducer includes an enlarged portion and a peg. The peg is separated from the magnetic pole in a downtrack direction by a dielectric gap. A peg coupler covers a bottom surface of the magnetic pole and is separated from the peg. The peg coupler is formed of a first plasmonic material. A pad extends from the peg coupler into part of the gap in the downtrack direction towards the peg. The pad is formed of a second plasmonic material and extends into the write head away from the media-facing surface a distance L that is less than a corresponding distance of the peg coupler.

摘要: 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.
