Popis: In most heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) systems, the laser is ON and kept constant during the entire sector. In this architecture, the transitions are defined whenever the magnetic writer changes polarity. In a pulsed HAMR system, the laser pulses once per bit. In this architecture, the transition is defined by the rising edge of the first laser pulse after a magnetic writer current transition. In this paper, we compare the bit error rate (BER) and areal density capability (ADC) of both continuous wave (CW) HAMR and pulsed HAMR. For our testing conditions, we find that there is no penalty for using a pulsed HAMR system over a CW HAMR system in terms of BER and ADC capability.
