    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a read/write head having a heater, wherein a low- or non-modulation interface is defined between the head and a magnetic recording medium. A microactuator is coupled to the head. A main actuator is coupled to the microactuator and the head. A controller is coupled to the main actuator, the microactuator, and the head. The controller is configured to control movement of the main actuator and the microactuator in response to a position error signal. The controller is further configured to induce an oscillation in the heater at a predetermined frequency. A detector is coupled to the controller. The detector is configured to sense a disturbance in the PES supplied to the microactuator resulting from the induced heater oscillation, and detect contact between the head and the medium using the PES disturbance.

    Abstract: A current temperature of a data storage device having a heat assisted recording (HAMR) device is measured while in idle. A threshold laser diode power output of the HAMR device is calculated at the current temperature when there is a change between a previous temperature and the current temperature. A new laser diode current that produced the calculated threshold laser diode power output is applied to the HAMR device when there is a change between the currently applied laser diode current and the new laser diode current.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a slider that includes a fly height sensor. A signal generator is coupled to the slider. The signal generator is configured to generate an AC electrical signal having a DC offset voltage and to adjust the DC offset of the AC electrical signal to a plurality of DC offset voltages. Circuitry is coupled to the fly height sensor and the signal generator. The circuitry is configured to measure fly height of the slider in response to application of the AC electrical signal with varying DC offset voltages to the slider. The circuitry is further configured to determine an extremum of the measured fly heights and generate an output that includes the DC offset voltage associated with the fly height extremum.

    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for adaptive write pole tip protrusion compensation in a storage device having magnetic recording media. Variations in temperature of a head of a storage device are measured for various combinations of values of write-channel parameters during multiple test writes to the recording media. Sensitivity of the head temperature to change in value of the write-channel parameters is determined from the temperature measurements. A ratio of change in write pole tip protrusion of the head to change in head temperature is also determined. From the sensitivity of the head temperature to change in value of the write-channel parameters and the ratio of change in write pole tip protrusion of the head to change in head temperature, a coefficient corresponding to each write-channel parameter is calculated for the head to be utilized in a write pole tip protrusion compensation mechanism of the storage device.
