hi wel bassicly any current regulated based driver wil do.
But it wil probably be dependent on what host u are going to use and what kind of batteries

Re: making first blue ray laser and have a questio

If you want to assemble the driver circuit yourself, i recommend the (commonly referred to around here) 'ddl' circuit. look in this lunker thread for more info:
http://www.laserpointerforums.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1185701612

advantage of this circuit is it's easy to build from easy to find parts, and very reliable. the disadvantage is the ddl circuit requires ~9 volts to drive a 405nm diode. if you want a more elaborate regulator which works off lower voltages (to allow one cell pointer designs) you best bet is the 'flex' drive, which used to be for sale here. ??

otherwise there's much driver information on this site, tho you'll have to search for it.
