    Laser Warning Mixing Green (532 NM) with Blue-Violet (405 nm)

    Hey, I am really a noob. I own a couple of lasers, but have never built one. I'll admit I am not a very hands on person. Although,I eventually do want to build my own RGB system. I was just wondering how a beam would look if I mixed a 30mw Green with a 100mw Blue-Violet. I already have both of those. Couple of questions:

    Would this just barely change the beam to a teal color?? I know the Violet is almost impossible to see to begin with. I'm not expecting the laser to be blue or anything like that.

    Would I need to use a lower power or higher power Violet to get a noticeable difference.

    Would it be better to go with a red/violet mix? Opinions?

    hi,

    532nm and 405nm makes cyan blue, lowering 532nm will move to blue then violet

    650nm + 405nm makes magenta red

    in general, adding 405nm deepens the colours in a great way, adding a "fluo" effect, which is really gorgeous I think with colours surch as browns and oranges
