Abstract:
1. An energy assisted magnetic recording (EAMR) transducer coupled with a laser for providing energy and having an air-bearing surface (ABS) configured to reside in proximity to a media during use, the EAMR transducer comprising: a write pole configured to write to a region of the media; at least one coil for energizing the write pole; an energy delivery device optically coupled with the laser, the energy delivery device including a top distal from the ABS, a bottom proximate to the ABS, a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, the first side having a first apex angle from a normal to the ABS and being reflective, the second side having a second apex angle from the normal to the ABS and being reflective, the first apex angle being at least three and not more than twenty-five degrees, the second apex angle being at least three and not more than twenty-five degrees, the first side and the second side converging such that the top is wider than the bottom and such that the energy reflecting between the first side and the second side forms a soliton substantially at the bottom of the energy delivery device.
