Disk drive evaluating laser performance for heat assisted magnetic recording

A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk and a head comprising a laser configured to heat the disk while writing to the disk. Data is written to the disk using an operating laser power applied to the laser, and then the data is read from the disk to generate a read signal. A ramp interval is meas...

Zusammenfassung:A disk drive is disclosed comprising a disk and a head comprising a laser configured to heat the disk while writing to the disk. Data is written to the disk using an operating laser power applied to the laser, and then the data is read from the disk to generate a read signal. A ramp interval is measured for an amplitude of the first read signal to ramp up to a first threshold.
