Re: Using piezoelectric to power a laser diode?

Thank you for the explanation! I'm learning stuff every day!

I guess the only issue is that i'm trying to use the output from the
piezo to directly power the laser, so i don't need an external power
source...kind of like the FBR + C(ap?) diagram you had at the bottom of
your previous email. I think i'm going to order up some parts for
both...if the cap+bridge is too sloppy, i'll go with the other. I'm
sure a few watch batteries would power the diode for years given the
usage i'm going for.

Thanks again for all of your help!!! I've been surfing forums for the
last few years, and forgot just how great USENET still is.

Take care!!

Bob
