You would need at least a battery in addition!

But, seriously, haven't you asked this before?

With a resistor, you can calculate the current using Ohm's law: it will be directly related to the supply voltage and the diode voltage drop - won't it?

Therefore, for the current to be accurately controlled, the supply voltage must be accurately controlled, and the diode voltage drop must be accurately known.

I think the driver is very simple

What driver?

Why do you think that?

and cant accept the modulation I need.

Again, why do you think that?

What does its Datasheet tell you?

Can I drive a Laser diode with only a resistor?            01/01/70 00:00      
   No            01/01/70 00:00      
      no datasheet =(            01/01/70 00:00

         Guessing time, again...            01/01/70 00:00      
   not really            01/01/70 00:00      
      leds are contant current device            01/01/70 00:00      
         Ehh???            01/01/70 00:00      
         Some lasers requires pulsing            01/01/70 00:00      
            ia a laser pointer actually a laser?            01/01/70 00:00      
               It is, usually...            01/01/70 00:00      
   is it JUST the diode? ...            01/01/70 00:00      
      Same module, another use            01/01/70 00:00      
         unless ...            01/01/70 00:00      
   Yes, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
      never say never            01/01/70 00:00      
         100R times 100nF gives 10µsec...            01/01/70 00:00
