If I measure the current draw on the battery with an Amp Meter, and then multiply this by 0.7 volts will I get a good idea of the power of the laser ?
Ex: 100ma X .7 Volt = 700 mw ??
I know there is heat loss in the driver module and resistor, but is that a lot ?
Please help.
PS I am assuming a .7 volt drop across the diode, but I know some diodes have a lower polarisation voltage.
