Yes that thread from Quack is excellent reading ! No doubt that laser dedicated drivers are best, but if like myself you have electronic bits lying around, you might find something that does the job. A while back I played with LT3477 led drivers http://cds.linear.com/docs/Datasheet/3477fc.pdf On...

Input might be from single Li-ion, 2.75-4.3 Volt; Driving maybe a Nichia 3.7 to 5.5 V blue diode. If the linear CC regulator input/output voltages are close, then efficiency is not too bad. Guess a dedicated driver would be more convenient. Maybe I am thinking everyone has a huge and messy...

Hi everyone, this is my first post so hope to not say anything too stupid. I've been thinking that perhaps industry standard DC to Dc converter modules, could be used to drive most laser diodes from one or two cells. You can have a 2 to 9 volt input and 4 to 6 volt output unit, (driven by a...
