Well, answering myself, it looks like the Fresnel won't make a
particularly good transmit collimator, so I think I'll stick with the
laser module's 2mm lensed beam, for now, and use the Fresnel for receive
only. Scanning the archive, I see a 4" glass expander in PVC pipe; I'll
try that for transmit later, I think.
As it happens it was easy to reduce the raw laser output cone to ~40
degrees with a simple 2" reading glass, and fill the Fresnel. The
collimated result, though, isn't pretty.
