I was looking for laser diodes when I sumbled on this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=016&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=260093647023&rd=1&rd=1
the way I'm reading it, it allows you to control the ammount of current flowing to the diode, thus preventing the mistake I made of over-powering it and burning it out. (I'm still looking for an inexpensive means of building a cutting/debossing/engraving/etc laser)
Likewise, I found this 1w diode for what appears a reasonable price (AFAIK):

Any comments/suggestions/etc on these two items? (yes, I am thinking of putting them together)
