Analog laser diode drivers?

[carmangary]

Does anyone know of a source for laser diode drivers with analog modulation that are tried and true? I see TTL modulated ones from time to time but never analog. It isn't like they are much more complicated so I don't know why. I know of Robin's and Norm's drivers but since they have never been reviewed I don't know how safe or unsafe they are.

Also, it would be nice to have drivers that don't required a regulated P/S... in other words, I'd prefer to have them plug straight into the wall.

There is also the Blogdrive, from the Laserblog.de guys : http://www.laserblog.de/categories/16-BlogDrive

Uhm sorry, I don't understand German language. Is the author selling it pre-built or is the schematic and part list available for people who wants to DIY?

Hehe

So, the board is built and ready to use. There's a post on that, from the author of the board : http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...ight=blogdrive

He states that it is TTL not analog.

Read the title above the picture.

Max modulation speed is 11Khz. Seems slow. Or is it?
