To support a faster switching rate may take more drastic measures. If the laser pointer does indeed have a voltage converter you could investigate the possibility to directly supply the higher voltage right to the LED module and then gate the actual drive to the laser diode on and off from this external voltage rail using a PMOS FET switching circuit. Michael Karas From what I remember, aren't laser diodes extremely sensitive to their supplies, and can be popped by tiny transients during switch on ? Caution is required to mess around with the power supply ! Steve |
