Peter, a solid state laser is just a "well organized" light emitting diode, and the costs go up only ewhen high power is desired (Sony had a chart I saw when they expected the price to drop under $100/watt, but that was some time ago). The laser diode used for communications and optical storage are sub milliwat range.
