https://hackaday.com/2024/06/04/glowblaster-uses-405-nm-laser-to-make-its-mark/Project summary:
High photon energy of short-wavelength lasers allows them to induce phosphorescence.
- Arduino Nano microcontroller board pulses 405nm laser, producing green dots on glow-in-the-dark targets
- 5 modes programmed in, in addition to optional “reloading” functionality
- speaker for sound effects + vibrating motor for haptic feedback in the grip
