I have a laser pointer but the driver doesnt work.

I would like to know if anyone have a diagram or knows
how to build a driver for a laser pointer, I just know
that I need to generate a high frequency.

Thanks for your help
Alex

    Alex,

    This is the best reference I've seen on the web:

    Alex,
    If you only want to drive a small diode try your local electronics store
    The sometimes sell laser pointers as a kit
    The PCB containing the Laser Diode and driver is usally quiet small
    Cheers
