Recent developments in transmission gratings have dramatically increased application areas for transmission gratings. Historically, diffraction gratings have been produced mainly as reflection ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

Visual demonstration of the performance of the diffraction grating. The zeroth order transmission refers to light that goes straight through the grating without undergoing diffraction (which should be ...

Using a novel method, beams of laser light can be deflected using air alone. An invisible grating made only of air is not only immune to damage from the laser light, but it also preserves the original ...

Ibsen Photonics offers pulse compression gratings in 100% fused silica for high-power femtosecond laser pulse compression at both 1064 nm and 800 nm. Ibsen Photonics, a leading supplier of holographic ...

Today, astronomers seek to observe the faintest and most distant objects possible. Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs), with apertures in the order of several dozen meters, are the next generation ...

Diffraction gratings are curious things. Score a series of equally spaced tiny lines in a surface, and it will cause reflected or transmitted light to bend and separate into its component wavelengths.
