Abstract

See full text

A method of manufacturing a thermally-assisted magnetic head includes providing a light source unit including a laser diode; providing a reflection board, and a photo detector; driving the laser diode to emit a light beam towards the reflection board; performing an alignment between the light source unit and the thermally-assisted magnetic recording head section, based on a reflected light of the light beam reflected by the reflection board, then passed through the optical waveguide and finally detected by the photo detector obtaining the maximum power in a LED emission state of the laser diode; and bonding the light source unit to the slider after the alignment is completed. It improves alignment accuracy between a light source unit and a slider during a bonding process therebetween, prevents a laser diode of the light source unit instability, and improves performance of the thermally-assisted magnetic head finally.
