Hello all! I am new to lasers and this forum.
I was curious if anyone could shed some insight on something I have noticed.
I made a handheld with a 1W 445nm diode and another with 200mw 650nm. Both are in Aixiz housings with glass lenses.
When I video the blue/ violet one the footage reveals a prominent vertical line lens flare (or is it diffraction spike?).
The red reveals flower shaped/ pixelated hexagon sort of artifacts.
I guess my questions are, "do lens flares differ by wavelength?" And if so what other colors produce what other artifacts?
Thanks!
