摘要

An optical storage system (10) includes an optical disc (12) for storing information in an optical readable format. An optical transducer (30) is carried on a slider (20) proximate a data surface (48) of the optical disc (12) and is used for transducing information on the disc surface (48). A mesa (54) is provided on an air bearing surface (56) of the slider (20) and electrical conductors (52) are provided which extend around the mesa (54).
