    Abstract: A method of forming a TAMR (Thermal Assisted Magnetic Recording) write head that uses the energy of optical-laser excited plasmons to locally heat a magnetic recording medium and reduce its coercivity and magnetic anisotropy. The magnetic field of the write head is enhanced by the formation of a leading shield that is formed in a concave geometrical shape and partially surrounds the waveguide portion of the head within the concavity, which allows the distal end of the waveguide to extend to the ABS plane of the write head. This arrangement reduces the gap between the shield and the magnetic pole and does not interfere with the ability of the waveguide to efficiently transfer its optical energy to the plasmon generator and, ultimately, to the surface of the magnetic recording medium.

    Abstract: A TAMR (Thermal Assisted Magnetic Recording) write head uses the near field energy of optical-laser excited plasmon eigenmodes in a plasmon resonator to locally heat a magnetic recording medium and reduce its coercivity and magnetic anisotropy. The plasmon resonator is formed as a conducting disk-shaped structure with an extending peg that serves to further confine the near fields within a small region of the recording medium. The resonator eigenmodes are excited, through direct or evanescent coupling, by an interference pattern formed by the overlap of optical waves within a dual-channel waveguide, the interference pattern being the result of the waves in one branch being phase-shifted relative to the waves in the other branch.

    Abstract: Three structures, and processes for manufacturing them, that improve the performance of a TAMR feature in a magnetic write head are disclosed. This improvement is achieved by making the separation between the edge plasmon generator and the plasmon shield less than the separation between the edge plasmon generator and the optical wave-guide.

    Abstract: A thermally assisted magnetic recording head is disclosed having a spot size converter with at least one secondary waveguide adjoining a top or bottom surface of a primary waveguide. Each waveguide has tapered sides but the secondary waveguide is tapered at a greater angle over a shorter taper distance in order to couple propagated light into the primary waveguide before the front end of the taper. The secondary waveguide terminates in a ridge with a fixed width w3 of about 50-170 nm that is between the front end of the taper and the air bearing surface (ABS). The ridge enables transverse magnetic (TM) transmission mode efficiency above 90% even with a typical process misalignment in the cross-track and height directions. The primary waveguide has a front section with width w2 between an end of its tapered sides and the ABS where w2 is substantially larger than w3.
