Abstract

The development of compact, reliable and inexpensive short-wavelength lasers is certain to have profound effects on virtually any technology that uses coherent visible light. Although the impact of such devices will be far-reaching, the primary driving force behind efforts to develop blue-green diode lasers is without question optical recording. The demand for increased data storage capabilities is continually forcing the recording industry to increase storage densities.
