Use of heterostructure diode lasers in video disk systems

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The application of heterostructure lasers to video disk systems is described. The buried heterostructure diode laser is used as a light source of the optical pickup for the optical video disks. This pickup enables video signals to be reproduced with a SNR of more than 40 dB. These lasers can be not only used as a light source to read out the signal from the disk but also as a detector of the reflected light.
