The ZZ pair production rate in high energy gamma gamma collisions is e
valuated with photons from laser backscattering. We find that searchin
g for the standard model Higgs boson with a mass up to, or slightly la
rger than, 400 GeV via the ZZ final state is possible via photon fusio
n with backscattered laser photons at a linear e(+)e(-) collider with
energies in the range 600 GeV < root s(e+e-) < 1000 GeV.
