Typically, the cost of producing a master diffraction grating is expensive and by supplying replica gratings (which offer almost indistinguishable performance), one master may produce thousands of replicas, lowering the unit cost of the diffraction grating. A blazed grating has a ‘saw tooth’ profile and normally offers higher efficiency.Ī commercial diffraction grating is generally a replica grating produced from a sub-master, which may be a number of generations down from the master diffraction grating. A sinusoidal grating generally offers lower efficiency than a blazed grating, but often gives a broader spectral coverage. Transmission gratings are usually supplied with an antireflection coating.Ī diffraction grating can have a sinusoidal or blazed profile. Reflection gratings are normally coated with a reflective coating, usually aluminum with a protective overcoat for UV-VIS-NIR use or gold for IR use. The most common type of diffraction grating are plane gratings and concave gratings although they can also be other profiles such as convex or toroidal depending on the application. There are typically two different types of diffraction grating – the ruled grating and the holographic grating.Ī ruled diffraction grating is produced by a ruling engine that cuts grooves into the coating on the grating substrate (typically glass coated with a thin reflective layer) using a diamond tipped tool.Ī holographic diffraction grating is produced using interference lithography which results in a smooth groove surface and eliminates the periodic errors found in ruled gratings.Ī diffraction grating can be a reflection grating or a transmission grating. The groove density, depth and profile of a diffraction grating dictate the spectral range, efficiency, resolution and performance of the diffraction grating. Use in conjunction with colored film gels for additive and subtractive color demonstrations.A diffraction grating is an optical element that diffracts energy into its constituent wavelengths. Our gratings are the principal component in a spectroscope and are used for experiments pertaining to the study of light and color. The quality of the spectrum produced from our gratings is the brightest possible with a minimum of distracting visual noise. Calibration of a Diffraction Grating Using the red line in the Hydrogen spectrum (Balmer-) as a reference of known wavelength ( 656.28 nm), measure the angles of the first and second-order principal maxima on each side. Diffraction Gratings are used for the direct viewing and analysis of spectra from different gas tubes and other light sources. Our Holographic Diffraction Gratings are highly efficient embossed Holographic Optical Elements (H.O.E.). Additionally, you’ll also find that our lenses are the brightest on the market, making visual observations even easier to discern. Our sheets have been optimized to eliminate distracting visual noise, which means you’ll get a clean view of the color spectrum each time you use it. It is a single axis sheet and will diffract the light accordingly. x5 Diffraction Grating Roll Linear 500 l/inch Laser Sheet Spectrum Spectrometer New 22.93 + 3.00 shipping 102 sold Report item Description Shipping and payments eBay item number: 270818868831 Seller assumes all responsibility for this listing.
