Abstract

A method and system for providing energy assisted magnetic recording (EAMR) heads including EAMR transducers are described. The method and system include aligning a laser bar to the EAMR heads on a substrate. The laser bar includes lasers in locations corresponding to a portion of the EAMR transducers. The method and system also include bonding the laser bar to the substrate and removing a portion of the laser bar to separate the plurality of lasers. The substrate is separated into the EAMR heads.
