Method and apparatus of attenuating an optical signal without adding extra components is presented. The drive current of the optical signal source is set to meet a predetermined bandwidth requirement and exceed a predetermined amplitude requirement. An optical isolator that is used to prevent back-reflections from reaching the optical signal source is used to achieve the desired amount of attenuation. More specifically, the invention includes controlling the attenuation by tuning an angle θ between the transmission axis of a polarizer that is part of the optical isolator and the original polarization state of the optical signal. By increasing the angle θ, the amount of attenuation is increased; by decreasing the angle θ, the amount of attenuation is decreased. The invention allows continuous tuning of the angle θ.

A magnetoresistive sensor in the magnetic storage device includes a magnetoresistive element for sensing magnetic fields carried on storage medium. A cooling device is thermally coupled to the magnetoresistive element and arranged to conduct heat in a direction away from the magnetoresistive element to thereby cool the magnetoresistive element during normal operation of the storage device.

An optical connector includes a base member having a first hollow bore extending from a first end toward a second end, and a recess coaxially aligned with the first hollow bore. The recess has a first internal perimeter and a second internal perimeter. The first perimeter is smaller than said second perimeter. The base member can have a post extending up from a bottom of the recess. The first hollow bore passes through the past and terminates at an end of the post. The post can have an end that terminates substantially in alignment with at least a portion of a termination region disposed between the first internal perimeter and the second internal perimeter.

A modular TOSA that is compatible with multiple optical fiber connector standards and a method of making the TOSA are presented. With the invention, a modular TOSA can be made compatible with different connector standards by switching the nose assembly while keeping the port assembly design and the adapter assembly design constant. The nose assembly that is compatible with the desired connector standard is selected from a group of nose assemblies, which are designed to be coupled with the same port assembly but having different connector standards.

Embodiments of the invention generally provide an optical component configured to minimize reflectance. The component generally includes an optical housing having a bore formed therethrough, the bore having a central component receiving portion, and a glass block positioned in the component receiving portion in abutment with a fiber receiving bore. The component further includes a fuzzy mount secured in the central component receiving portion, the fuzzy mount being secured via a plurality of extending teeth formed on an outer surface thereof, the teeth being configured to engage an inner surface of the central component receiving portion to secure the fuzzy mount therein.

A method and apparatus for data disks adapted to compensate for effects of shock loads imparted to a disk drive which are of sufficient magnitude to cause disk shifts. A series of topographical features are formed on the disk surface or edge to cause signal fluctuation in a sensor during read-back mode operation. An initial signal profile is stored as a map indicative of track or disk alignment with respect to the actuator assembly. Selectively, such as after a known shock event, the topographical features are re-profiled. A comparison of the profiles provides a measure of any track distortion which must be compensated for in future read-write operations by adjustments to data track servo follower algorithms.

A disc storage system includes a rotating disc and a transducer. The transducer is carried on a slider which is supported by an armature. The armature is used to move the slider radially across the disc surface whereby information may be read from or written to the disc surface of the transducer. The slider includes an air bearing surface which faces the disc surface. As the disc rotates, the air bearing surface causes the slider to “fly” over the disc surface. Pads are provided on the air bearing surface to improve operational characteristics of the system.

An improved glide head is useful for testing the glide quality of a disc. The glide head includes an air bearing surface, pads extending from the air bearing surface and a contact sensor, the contact sensor providing an output in response to an impact on the pad. The air-bearing surface defines a resting plane. The pad protrudes from the air-bearing surface such that the pad projects below the resting plane of the air-bearing surface.

The embodiments disclosed herein relate an insertable shield clip for use in controlling electromagnetic interference in an optical transceiver module. The optical transceiver module may include a shell that houses first and second optical subassemblies and an enclosure that cooperates with the shell in defining a covering for the optical transceiver module. The shield clip may comprise a body composed of conductive material. The body may include first and second vertical side members. The body may also include first and second shield members that are each configured to receive a corresponding nosepiece of one of the first and second optical subassemblies. The body may further include a bottom member that interconnects the first and second vertical side members and the first and second shield members.

An improved glide head has optical marks on the air bearing surface. The glide heads can be used for detecting defects on disc surfaces following an evaluation of the fly height as a function of disc rotation. The optical marks provide a position for focusing light used in the optical measurement of fly height. The optical marks have measurably different optical properties from the portions of the air bearing surface not covered by an optical mark. The differences in optical properties of the optical marks can be used to adjust the position of the optical system relative to the glide head to ensure that the light is focused on an optical mark.
