I'm having trouble finding a clear explaination of what the difference is.
The only physical difference I can see is that the laser module is much bigger than the laser diode and that the laser diode is a part of the module (since by definition, module implies many parts).
But what extra stuff is in the module and how does that affect the function?
Can a laser diode by itself provide the same function and the laser module?
In other words, does the module affect the light output in any way?
