Default DVD laser (just out of curiosity).

Is a DVD laser orange/amber?


It's (supposedly) red. But there would be nothing wrong
using a shorter wavelength.


Utter bull****.
Wavelength is critical to reading the data from a pressed disk.


A short wavelength is needed to resolve fine detail. There's nothing wrong
with using a blue laser to read a CD.
