[Laser] OPT101 and audio amplifier

I'll have a table at a local amateur radio event coming up on 8/20 here in
Michigan where I plan to demo free space optical comms.  I've already got a
K3PGP receiver built plus one of the power supplies/modulators built.  I'd
like to also put together some simpler setups as well (i.e. laser/LED
pointed through a fan).

I have some OPT101 chips laying around and was thinking of using one of
them in the demo.  So my question is, is it possible to just use the output
of the OPT101 to drive an audio amp to create a simple receiver?

Thanks,
Mike
