Characterizing laser output in a HAMR device |
摘要 |
At least one laser input current is applied to a laser in a heat assisted magnetic recording device. Laser output power of the laser is measured at the at least one applied laser current. A relationship is characterized amongst temperature, applied laser input current and laser output power. Laser current is set to an optimal laser current as determined at manufacturing. A metric of recording performance is measured to determine if the relationship is acceptable. |

1. A method comprising:
applying at least one laser input current to a laser in a heat assisted magnetic recording device; measuring laser output power of the laser at the at least one applied laser current; characterizing a relationship amongst temperature, the applied laser input current and the laser output power; setting the laser input current to an optimal laser current as determined at manufacturing; and measuring a metric of recording performance to determine if the relationship is acceptable. |
