Jake, in my last post I meant to say hook up your meter leads to the wires you have separated. I thought it would be obvious but I guess it wasn't.

Remove the 10 ohm resistor and put those wires back to the way they were.

I give up Jake. You are having a very hard time following instructions. Sorry but I can no longer help you unless you follow instructions. It is clear you have no clue on the use of a multimeter, and I don't know how many times I have suggested you search google for instructions.

Is your diode hooked up to the circuit too? Is it lasing?

I was just curious, how do I tell if my diode is lasing?  Do I have the lens on or off (I have an AixiZ housing)? Should the casing get warm when it is lasing (or at all)? Should there be a spike in current once it starts lasing?

Also, jake: when you want to measure mA, the multimeter needs to be in series with the circuit (as opposed to parallel when measuring voltage).

If the BR isn't turned on you should get a 0 reading on your meter. You must have a short somewhere at the output.
