Abstract
Differences between heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) and conventional perpendicular magnetic recording at narrow track widths are compared. We can see that HAMR appears to have similar adjacent track interference, but increased readback signal from the adjacent tracks (side reading). This background interference signal appears to be a consequence of the media architecture, and can be decreased if the media soft underlayer spacing to the hard layer, and transducer is reduced. The impact is also reduced for very high linear densities, due to a smaller fraction of unbiased flux from the neighbor tracks reaching the test track. The use of two reader multiple sensor magnetic recording at high track density appears to address some of this issue, and we can demonstrate viable track writing for HAMR beyond 1M tracks per inch using this readback technique.
