Abstract
We report the feasibility of detection of top quark pairs in a photon-photo n collider. A realistic luminosity and detection efficiency were estimated using a simulation with a set of accelerator and detector parameters. It wa s found that about 1000 events can be expected with the signal to noise rat io of 10 in a year of operation.
