Abstract

In this paper, the real time thermal effect of the heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) on the slider flying height is investigated with HAMR spin stand. In the experiment, a modulated laser beam is used to heat the media and the slider vibration is measured with laser Doppler vibrometer. The slider vibrations at different laser modulation frequencies and different laser powers are investigated and near 0.2nm flying height change is observed. Analysis shows that the main reason to cause the flying height change results from the disk surface thermal distortion caused by thermal expansion.
