Abstract: Phosphoramidate esters and related nucleotide analogs useful in polynucleotide sequencing techniques, and synthetic methods for preparing those compounds, are disclosed, including compounds having the following structure: wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are as defined herein.

Abstract: This disclosure is related to systems, devices, processes, and methods to optimize a laser power boost amplitude, a laser power boost duration, or both in a heat-assisted data recording device, such as in heat-assisted magnetic recording (HAMR). The amplitude and duration for the laser power boost may be determined for a specific portion of a write operation, such as a first sector of the write operation. During operation of a data storage device, the laser power boost may provide additional power to the laser for the specific portion. Once the laser power boost duration has elapsed, the data storage device may continue providing power to the laser at the normal power input range of the laser. The laser power boost settings may be determined on a per head per zone basis, per track basis, or another configuration.
