Varying a pen laser voltage with audio signal how?

Greetings All


I'm trying to vary the voltage of a pen laser by using audio frequencies
(homemade analog switch /potentiometer I guess). I've created a laser
that will transmit audio

r
but I'm not sure how to fine tune it. I would like to have the audio
control how much power the laser gets.

Example: if the audio doesn't play the laser doesn't get any power. The
thing is I'm not trying to use the audio signale as a digital switch
on/off. I'm trying to use the audio signal to vary the power the laser
gets or at least use the audio signal like a potentiometer / analog
switch. Is this possible?
