An interesting article @ eeTimes.com. Cree is mentioned, of course.

Race toward blue laser picks up speed


[SNIP]

Fujitsu expects to have samples of blue-wavelength lasers ready by 2000 and to begin commercial production of the lasers early in the next century at Fujitsu Quantum Devices.
High-definition DVD disk systems, capable of storing about 13 Gbytes of MPEG-2 high-level compressed video, are the initial target application. Once the output is boosted to the 30-mW range, blue lasers will be used in rewritable DVD-RAM drives capable of 6 to 7 Gbytes of storage, compared with the roughly 2.7 Gbytes achievable with lasers operating at 630 to 650 nm at about 30 mW of output power.
