LD163 Diode info needed

[BobBowers]

I'm trying to find information on a LD163 Laser Diode I just picked up. It was made by Laser Diode Products Inc.

There are a few specs on it... ITH 12A IM 40A Po38W @ 25 degrees C., 904nm.

I rather expect it is a pulsed diode... but would like to see if I can find more info... such as average Po, etc. so I can come up with the proper driver circuit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!
