    摘要: In a scanning head for an optical disc system, a light beam from a laser is transmitted through a monomode optical fiber and then focussed on a record carrying surface of an optical disc by a converging lens. The end of the fiber can be reoriented within orthogonal planes perpendicular to the plane of the record carrying surface by transducers so as to correct for tracking and timing errors. The laser diode can function both as an emitter and, in an external cavity mode, as a detector of light reflected from the disc. Drive to the transducers is dependent on tracking and speed error signals generated from the detected light. For tracking and speed error compensation, only lens fiber end, and, optionally, a collimating lens, which are of negligible weight, need be moved rather than the entire scanning head. This provides a simple structure having a high frequency response and low power consumption.

    摘要: A method fabricates an interferometric tapered waveguide (ITWG) for a heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) transducer. The ITWG is defined from at least one waveguide layer. The waveguide layer(s) include an energy sensitive core layer. The energy sensitive core layer has an index of refraction that varies in response to exposure to energy having a particular wavelength range. The step of defining the ITWG includes defining a plurality of arms for the ITWG. At least one phase difference between the arms is determined. At least one of the arms is exposed to the energy such that the index of refraction of the energy sensitive core layer in the arm(s) is changed and such that the phase difference(s) between the arms is changed.

    摘要: In a heat-assisted magnetic recording hard disk drive, a laser module includes a submount-integrated photodetector configured to receive optical energy from a laser by way of a head slider. The submount may be formed of a semiconductor material such as a crystalline silicon material, and the photodetector may be a photodiode that is integrally formed with the submount. A HAMR head slider may comprise a feedback waveguide configured to guide optical energy from the laser through the slider to a feedback photodiode at an interface of the submount and the slider, to detect the optical energy transmitted through the slider to the slider air bearing surface (ABS). A back facet photodiode may also be integrally formed with the submount and configured to receive back facet optical energy to detect the optical energy generated by the laser.

    摘要: An optical disc data storage system includes an optical disc having a data surface. An actuator arm having a distal end is selectively radially positionable adjacent the data surface. A transducing element is carried on a slider which is coupled to the distal end of the actuator arm. The slider includes an air bearing surface and the transducing element includes an optical mesa adjacent the air bearing surface. The optical mesa is spaced apart from the data surface whereby contact between the data surface and the mesa structure is prevented.
