They advise me this laser:

Only because they don't have a 50mW (or so) red laser.
I hope I won't burn things with 100mW because that is really not what I want. It must be safe to have this laser in a show, and don't burn plants.
Specsheet:
I did some quick searching, and found a Dutch website (may not be the cheapest) but since it lays out various laser diodes, it's my initial reference to search for a diode that is suitable for me.
It's a Dutch website, so enable the auto-translate if necessary. (I needed to add some spaces...
Hi Adam,
Thank you for your reaction. You think along well which really helps me.
Since I did not any testing (yet), with the laser in the fog/mist, and after reading your message, it was time to actually DO a test with the 5mW laser. I made a video about the visual test, and I'll see if I can...
Funny that you ask. I'm building a light-show in a small garden.
In the soil, 12 pvc tubes of 50mm arise a bit above ground-level. Via a pipe system underground, mist/fog (real water mist) is transported and pushed out of the 50mm openings. The openings have custom made valves on top of them, to...
So you say, I can drive such a laser with only an arduino or so? That would be great ofcourse, since that reduces the complexity of my project. I need to control around 12 lasers individually.
However, I hooked them up to a 3V power supply, and the laser is now fainted, so I don't think it can...
As the title stated, I think I need to find a way to change the output properties of a driver, so it meets my laser. Let me explain.
I have these simple and cheap diodes: search for number 590519565 in the AliExpress site.
In case the product page is not there anymore, here are some pictures...
