Notes
1. In the transmitter schematic, no ballast resistor is shown because most small
LASER power supplies already have one built in. Yours may differ, and a resistor
may be needed.
2. The receiver should be kept away from bright lights. You may want to put a piece
of wax paper in front of Q1 to keep the LASER from swamping it.
3. In order to get any decent amount of modulation, you may need to drive T1 with
more then a watt.
4. The circuit can be made to transmit computer data with the use of two modem
chips.
