Should anyone be interested, POUNDLAND are selling some laser line generators for but a pound each, and the laser diodes are EASILY REMOVABLE for other uses. They have a 15 ohm current limit resistor for use on 3 volts, easy to bypass if needed.
They will go a bit brighter at 4 volts, but there is a damage threshold that is soon exceeded.
I assume that a good deal more power is available for a microsecond at a time, but does anyone know how far you can push it?
