Driving a green laser diode

[ICUDoc]

Hello all
Can anyone please point me to a page describing the construction of a current-regulated 1.8v source for my laser?? I can build a very inefficient (50%) one butwas hoping to run the 280mA device off some AA batts. Thanks for any help

there are heaps at sams laser FAQ. Don't know if the one you are looking for will be there though.
