With 20mW I can work pretty fast. But still the power is limiting
factor. With 100mW laser I think I will hit other bariers like speed of
scanning and even more the speed of laser modulation. With 100mW laser I
need to switch it on and off at 1MHz rate. I search the net but didn't
find the working driver. Now I have driver from BJT transistors and
works nice at over 100kHz but the current is little dependent of room
temperature.
I tried to modulate LM317 but in some cases seems that it resonate and
miss pulse. OPAMP seems to be too slow (at least with amplifiers I tryed).
I don't know what is best for laser. To turn it ON/OFF completly or just
change the current from minimum lasing current to max current.
And I have little different approach in mechanic... need to make video
how I did it...
