The storage capacity of hard disk drives (HDD) has extremely increased over the last decade. However, the rate of increase has reached a bottle-neck as the technology approaches a limit known as the superparamagnetic limit. Heat assisted magnetic recording (HAMR) is a promising approach for allowing...
