So I was toying with this idea...
The definition of a meter is approx. the amount of distance light travels in 1/300,000,000 of a second.
So, if 300MHz at 100% DC is a solid line, one cycle equalling one meter. So if you pulse the laser at 50% DC, then in theory, instead of a solid beam you would get dashes, a half meter long, separated by gaps a half meter long. Correct me if I'm wrong!
However that is pretty fast, can diodes switch that fast? I'm sure a driver is possible if my phone is running at 1.2 GHz...
