A light delivery module, a method of fabricating the same, a heat-assisted
magnetic recording head using the light delivery module are provided. The
light delivery module delivers light emitted from a light source. The
light delivery module includes an optical waveguide having an inclined
plane of an angle .PHI. with respect to an incident light axis to deliver
an incident light, and a nano aperture changing an energy distribution of
the light delivered through the inclined plane to generate an enhanced
near-field. The heat-assisted magnetic recording head is mounted on one
end of a slider with an air bearing surface to perform a recording
operation on a recording medium. The heat-assisted magnetic recording
head includes a magnetic path forming unit forming a magnetic field for
recording, a light source emitting light for heating a predetermined
region of a recording surface of the recording medium, and the light
delivery module.
