We had a HeNe with a modulator stuck on it, plus a TTL interface.  I don't
think these things are too expensive.  The bandwidth you can get is pretty
impressive.

BTW, i don't think modulating the power supply will work so well.  The
response time is likely to be pretty lousy; i assume the plasma has to heat up
and cool down.  My stupid laser takes half a minute just to turn on.
