Works well with my arduino for a starter projection motor mirror and laser you can put together a nice little project.

Nice laser to hang on the arduino and experiment with. The laser is nicely point-shaped, has a compact beam and diverges little. Downside is that there is no connection diagram given.
So here it is:
The left connection S is directly connected to the + of the laser diode. The middle connection is connected to the + of the laser diode via a series resistor of 10 kOhm. The right connection is the – pole.
To connect the laser to the Arduino you can connect the middle connection to 5V on the Arduino and – to GND. This gives a very weak laser beam.
It is better to connect the S connection to the 5V on the Arduino via a series resistor of at least 100 Ohm. This gives a brighter laser beam.
