UV Transmission Gratings

Ideal for spectrographs and other compact systems using small detector arrays, UV Transmission Gratings are a simplistic means of dispersing light for fixed grating applications in the 250 – 450nm wavelength range. As incident light strikes the UV Transmission Gratings’ coarse groove spacing, it is dispersed on the opposite side of the grating at a fixed angle. As groove spacing increases, the diffraction angle decreases. UV Transmission Gratings are relatively polarization insensitive and are fairly insensitive to alignment errors.

Handling Gratings: Gratings require special handling, making them prone to fingerprints and aerosols. Gratings should only be handled by the edges. Before attempting to clean a grating, please contact us.
