As a grating diffracts incident polychromatic light, it doesn't do so with uniform efficiency. The groove facet angle, also known as the blaze angle, determines the overall shape of the diffraction ...

His ultimate goal right now is to work up to creating holograms using chocolate, but along the way he’s found another interesting way to manipulate light. Using specialized diffraction gratings ...

This page contains hints, solutions, and advanced challenges for our diffraction grating challenge. If you would like a grating (or a set for your class if you are a teacher), please contact us at ...

If you pass a wave (like light) through a whole bunch of openings ... just like a whole bunch of openings. We call this a diffraction grating and it makes a nice interference pattern.

The new diffraction grating is useful for measurements of SXR, EUV and VUV radiation and emission spectra with sub-nanometer spectral resolution. To resolve closely spaced spectral lines, the ...

Inprentus Precision Optics, the worldleader in custom mechanically-ruled blazed diffraction gratings ... blaze and anti-blaze angles for the whole grating • Two-Circle Diffractometer to measure stray ...

Talbot made his remarkable observation as he inspected a coarsely ruled diffraction grating, illuminated with white light, through a magnifying lens. With the lens held close to the grating, the ...

Astronomers have used diffraction gratings for centuries. When the grating is hit by light, the waves bounce off at an angle nearly parallel to the surface of the grating. The light waves ...
