I use a laser diode to send voice signals in my class. I modulate it with a
transistor and set it so approximately 3 volts DC is dropped across tht laser
diode. I would recommend at least a 100 Ohm resistor in series with the diode.
It is polarity sensitive, so be careful of that. You may want to connect it to a
bridge rectifier to insure polarity. Good Luck!
