Abstract
Methods of burnishing to remove material from the air-bearing surface under a near-field transducer and form a burnished surface, and applying power to a laser so that laser light exits from a near-field transducer onto the surface of the magnetic recording medium at a radial location that is different from where burnishing occurred to grow a layer of a dielectric material on the burnished surface; and evaluating a writing performance of the write transducer after growing the dielectric material.
