Small infrared laser pointer build questions

[fuze]

Hi everyone, I need to build a small infrared laser pointer between 3.5mW and 25mW for detetcion by the infrared camera in the nintendo wiimote.

I have looked at a few laser diode modules, the links are below. Can anyone advise me what would be best to get and if they are as simple as they seem?

I cannot post links because i have not made ten posts yet so there is a space between ww and w

This one is the 25mW but does not inluce any information about what power source it needs so I am unsure what would be best to use

There is also a space between ww and w on this link too

ww w.worldstartech.net/pdf/UL5-3.5G-780.pdf

This one is 3.5mW and it says it needs 3-5VDC, would that mean that i would use 3 double aa batteries.
Also would it be powerful enough to be detetcted by the wiimote, which contains a 1024x768 infrared camera with built-in hardware blob tracking of up to 4 points at 100Hz.

Thank you very much for help in advance!

If I were you I would avoid using anything above 5mW. 25mW of IR bouncing about with no protection doesn't sound good to me

Ok I will use the 3.5mW watt one. Do you think that will be picked up by the camera?

Granted the camera doesn't have an IR Filter, it will see it as a small whitish-purple dot.
