Abstract
An apparatus with a slider body, a laser diode, and an isolator element. The slider body has an optical pathway extending therealong. The laser diode is configured to emit light along the optical pathway. The isolator element is disposed in the optical pathway to reduce optical feedback along the optical pathway back to the laser diode. In some embodiments, the isolator element is disposed in the optical pathway between the laser diode and the slider body.
