Abstract
A calibration medium that is used to calibrate a flying height tester which measures the gap of an air bearing formed between a magnetic recording head and a substrate. The medium contains a first ridge and a second ridge that extend from an underlying substrate. The ridges may be coated with a reflective material. A flying height tester can be calibrated by measuring light reflected from each ridge. The ridges have varying thicknesses so that the calibration medium will produce multiple data points.
