    Abstract: A magnetic recording head comprises a transducer, a heater, a writer and a laser. The transducer is configured to write to a magnetic recording medium during a write operation. The heater, writer and laser are configured to affect a protrusion of the transducer. The heater is calibrated to produce a pre-write heater power to obtain a target pre-write clearance for a write operation through use of a clearance-heater power curve. The curve is generated by measuring a clearance between the transducer and the medium as the heater is cycled from zero to a contact power.

    Abstract: Fixed patterns are written on a track of a heat-assisted, recording medium at multiple, heater-induced write clearances via a recording head. The writing involves heating the recording medium via a near-field transducer of the recording head. Amplitudes of the fixed patterns are read back at a predetermined read clearance. A clearance difference between a start and an end of a first data sector of the track is determined based on the amplitudes. A narrow, laser-induced protrusion is estimated at the near-field transducer based on the clearance difference.

    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) head, a sensor, and a controller. The HAMR head is configured to interact with a magnetic storage medium. The sensor is configured to produce a signal indicating the occurrence of head-medium contact. The controller is configured to receive the signal and concurrently determine from the signal if the occurrence of head-medium contact is caused by a first contact detection parameter, a second contact detection parameter, or both the first and second contact detection parameters.

    Abstract: A power level is applied to a laser that heats a heat-assisted recording medium is increased during recording for a plurality of iterations. Each iteration involves writing test data to a plurality of sequential tracks of the recording medium using the power level and determining bit error rates of the test data. Based on the bit error rates of the iterations, a power boost profile is determined. The power boost profile starts at a baseline level at a first track of a plurality of sequentially-written tracks, incrementally increases to a steady-state level over a first portion of the tracks, and remains at the steady-state level over subsequent ones of the tracks. The power boost profile is applied to the laser when recording to the recording medium.
