So I'm trying to integrate this diode into a projector I've had for a while. I have a flexmod driver but it's giving me one small issue. I've seen it all over here that the lasing threshold of these is 200mA, but I'm still getting light out of mine at as low as 3mA. When I set the bias to 2.5mA I cannot set the gain higher than 4mA. I'm trying to hook this up to a TTL blanking circuit and the diode isn't blanking, it just gets dimmer. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious but I'd really appreciate any guidance I can get here.
Thanks.
