Popis: We have demonstrated the feasibility of reading a high density Digital Versatile Disc using a green ZnSe based laser as the light source. In order to achieve this, high quality optical and electrical properties are required from the laser. We fabricated index-guided lasers to produce a single mode gausian optical beam having 7 micrometers of astigmatism. Operating electrical and optical parameters were measured and compare well with currently available semiconductor lasers for optical storage systems. The read- out experiment shows the favorable noise characteristics of ZnSe based lasers.
