I have a basic understanding of how current regulating drivers work but I have a specific question about them.
I know that a laser requires a certain current and voltage from the driver to operate properly. In current regulating drivers the amount of current output is controlled. Does this mean that the voltage is determined by the diode itself running at this preset current?
Basically im asking if the driver outputs say 1000mA do I need to worry about the voltage or will the diode dictate that itself?
Im thinking of ordering some LED drivers online and messing around with using those instead of laser drivers and I need to know what specs are necessary.
