See this diagram,I've been told the the proprietary drivers offer some extra protection from very short spikes (on power up and shutdown) in the current which laser diodes are very sensitive to ...

The value of R1 is determined by the maximum laser current required (in this case, 250 mA), adjusted by the laser diode's typical forward voltage of 2.0 V as given on the datasheet. Solving for R1 ...
