Ok, my ultimate goal is to build a nice IR spotting laser for use with NVGs. Low power, like maybe 5mw.
What I'd really like to do is learn all the math involved in building the appropriate driver, so I can know exactly what rating of components to use.
The other thing to consider is that I'd like to make everything fit inside something no larger than a pocket flashlight like a pentagon.
Any help ya'll could throw at me would be most appreciated. Or if this has been answered in detail elsewhere, a quick point in the right direction would be just as good.
Thanks
