Diffraction Gratings: Selection Guidelines

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Prioritizing the key parameters for selecting the best grating for spectroscopic applications.

David Ventola, Optometrics Corp., an Omega Optical Holdings company

Diffraction gratings are optical components with a periodic structure that separate light into beams traveling in predictable directions based on their wavelength. The grating acts as the dispersive element at the heart of many modern spectroscopic instruments. They provide the critical function of selecting the wavelengths of light required to perform the analysis at hand. Selecting the best grating for an application is not difficult, but it will usually require some level of decision-making when prioritizing the key parameters for the application. Any spectroscopic application will have...Read full article
