LED driver as laser diode driver

$

Please correct me if I'm wrong but the source of light for a LASER is a diode. As long as the electrical characteristics are the same could I use this LED driver for my laser? NCL30160 datasheet

It lists a maximum current of 1.5A and can be configured for any load, has enable and extremely high frequency switching capable.
I'm sure this has been done before but my search yielded no results. Any tried this or know of the downsides?
Thanks.
