INTERESTING, phosphorescence! I've never heard that it could do that before! Thank you so much for this!

Ah, thank you for these links! I'll check these out.

Hi there! I wanted to make a thread here asking folk about their interactions with materials and lasers! In particular, optical phenomena and visible reactions to lasers aside from the obvious few (Ex: Fluorescence from low-wavelength near UV Violet Lasers{Specifically around the 405nm range}. |...

Thank you lots for the information and recommendations :D!

And the final test, I did a distance test on a building without reflective surfaces or windows that's quite a bit away from me but even with how bright it is and without smoke, the beam was surprisingly visible.

And with some smoke, here's the beam!

Well heck I guess it's an mp4. Here you go! (Also I dimmed the contrast to make the fluorescence more obvious due to how bright it was earlier.)

Ahaha, I honestly oughta order from a more reputable site for once. At least I managed to find something interesting though as it certainly fluoresces a bunch of objects that I have and does have a semi visible beam at night. Though I have yet to get a good blue laser which is mainly what I'm...

Alrighty! Thanks for the info! :D

https://www.wish.com/product/5cd40cfb1df78376642e6db4 Here's as to where I ordered it from! Due to it being from Wish I can't guarantee if they changed anything on the product listing or not but this finally came in as I continue to order a bunch of random lasers to see what I can manage to find...

Here's some more images! https://i.imgur.com/46oPVj1.jpg

If there's any way I can take a better photo for your preference do let me know and I'll take one! And I think it's a focusing lens due to the fact that the dots width changing so drastically when I move it about 10-15ft away from me to the wall on the other side of my patio, also the fact that...

Howdy there! I'm not entirely sure if this would be the right place to post it but I've acquired a Violet Laser finally after ordering a Blue laser and ending up figuring out within a bit that it fluoresced objects! With it's relatively shoddy generic housing I took it apart and figured out that...

Thank you all very much for the warm welcome! I come from Canada, I've studied LASER(s) for a while and I've more recently got interested in the mechanical engineering part of it and building lasers from basic parts, I'd really like to learn more about working with the drivers though as well as...

Howdy! My name is Koodge and I figured I'd join these forums and come see how it is here as I recently got more into laser pointers after buying a few to take apart as well as ordering some cheap ones! I really have an interest in optics as a branch of science due to the phenomena it can cause...
