Buying Diffraction Gratings

diffraction gratings

Top-level product category: optical components and devices

More specific product categories: Bragg gratings, transmission gratings

Related product categories: pulse compressors, pulse stretchers

Diffraction gratings are optical devices with a periodic phase or amplitude structure. They are used in spectrometers and monochromators for wavelength separation and in ultrafast optics for stretching and compressing pulses. These gratings can be reflective or transmissive, depending on the application.

diffraction gratings

With the combination of ultra-pure fused silica substrates, all-dielectric coatings, and a unique grating design, Gitterwerk gratings offer a very high damage threshold with maximum diffraction efficiency (up to 99.5%). Beyond that, our unique mask-based full-field exposure process eliminates any stitching artifacts or period variations in our products, resulting in a perfect beam quality with excellent homogeneity. We cover the spectrum from 250 nm – 2500 nm with a series of line densities ranging from 600 l/mm up to 3000 l/mm, which both the optical performance and the mechanical dimensions can be tailored to the customer's specific requirements.
