laser driver

heyy..i am an undergraduate student. i am working on a project in which i have to develop a laser communication link. i have no distance limitations. i just have to transmit a high data rate video.
i want to know how to design a laser driver circuit? n if there are any ic's available that perform this functionality?

*just* to transmit a high data rate video - the only quite fast & safe laser drivers I know can be found here:

drivers for laser diode driver ICs for laser diodes Lasermodul lasermodule laserdiode Lasertechnik Laserdioden laserdiodes optic lasermodules laserbeam

There are some driver ICs which are capable to handle more than 155 MHz. But for a "high" resolution video this is not enough.

You may have to look for driver & diode assemblies for GB fiber LAN.

maybe it would be helpful to know which modulation you are going to apply.
