Abstract
A recording head includes a near-field transducer proximate a media-facing surface of the recording head. A light delivery waveguide extends from an energy source to the near-field transducer. The light delivery waveguide includes, proximate the near-field transducer, a C-shaped core of a first dielectric material. The C-shaped core has a hollow aligned with the near-field transducer. A cladding of a second dielectric material surrounds the C-shaped core.
