Please correct me if I'm wrong but the source of light for a LASER is a diode. As long as the electrical characteristics are the same could I use this LED driver for my laser? NCL30160 datasheet It lists a maximum current of 1.5A and can be configured for any load, has enable and extremely high...

Searching both this forum and google somehow didn't result in an answer. If I have a 300mw laser diode what does that mean? It can handle 300mw of power? The data sheet says it has a 2.2V operating voltage and a max operating current of 400mA thats 880mw! So what does this rating represent?

I'm building my first laser project with the end goal being a laser engraver capable of cutting vinyl. The diode I chose was a 300mw 808nm: 808nm 300mW 5 6mm TO18 High Power Burning Infrared IR Red Laser Diode Lab 2 2V | eBay I made a driver with an lm317T and bought this casing: 808nm Laser...
