title: Injection laser writing on chalcogenide films.
abstract: The crystallization and amorphization of Te-As-Ge films with GaAs injection lasers has been investigated. Power density measurements for crystallization and amorphization are presented, and a reverse-mode write-read-erase cycle is demonstrated. The results show that direct bit storage is feasible with an injection laser-chalcogenide film system.
