Abstract: A cluster size measurement method includes writing a first pattern of a first size of a first number of magnetic clusters. A second pattern of a second size of a second number of magnetic clusters is written, wherein the second plurality of clusters includes clusters of the first number of clusters and a switched cluster. A cluster size of the switched cluster is automatically determined by contrasting the first size and the second size.

Abstract: A device includes a controller with a processor and memory with instructions for controlling power to a light source such that the light source emits a frequency-modulated continuous light beam that, over time, includes an up region, a down region, and a flat region. The up region includes increasing a frequency of the continuous light beam, the down region includes decreasing the frequency of the continuous light beam, and the flat region includes maintaining the frequency of the continuous light beam at a constant frequency.

Abstract: A write head includes an input coupler configured to receive light excited by a light source. A waveguide core is configured to receive light from the input coupler at a fundamental transverse electric (TE00) mode. The waveguide core has a first straight portion. The waveguide core has a mode converter portion comprising a branched portion extending from the first straight portion. The mode converter portion is configured to convert the light to a higher-order (TE10) mode, the mode converter portion spaced apart from the input coupler. The waveguide core has a second straight portion between the mode converter portion and a media-facing surface. The write head has a near-field transducer at the media-facing surface, the near-field transducer receiving the light at the TE10 mode from the waveguide and directing surface plasmons to a recording medium in response thereto.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a detector, a light source configured to emit light, a reflecting apparatus having multiple reflective facets, and a mirror. The reflecting apparatus is configured to rotate around an axis and arranged to reflect the emitted light from the light source and reflect backscattered light. The mirror is arranged to reflect the backscattered light from the reflecting apparatus towards the detector.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a detector, a light source configured to emit light, a plurality of disks, and a focusing apparatus. Each disk includes a set of prisms, and each disk is independently rotatable, arranged to receive the emitted light directly or indirectly from the light source, and arranged to receive backscattered light from an object. The focusing apparatus is arranged to focus the backscattered light from the plurality of disks towards the detector.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a waveguide extending along a light-propagation direction between a light source and a media-facing surface. The waveguide comprises an assistant layer configured to receive light from a light source, truncated with an intermediate bottom cladding layer. A core layer comprises a coupling end configured to receive light from the assistant layer. The coupling end comprises a taper that widens toward the media-facing surface. A near field transducer is disposed proximate the media-facing surface and is configured to receive the light from the core layer.
