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.

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 ...

A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could lead to ...

Here’s a great picture from [Jelly & Marshmallows] that shows off the wild effects of melted chocolate poured onto a diffraction grating. A diffraction grating is a kind of optical component whose ...

CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS, USA, August 26, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Inprentus Team has released a White Paper entitled “Simulated versus measured efficiency ...

MOSCOW, November 2. /TASS/. A group of scientists from the Kirensky Institute of Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Siberian Federal University’s (SFU) Institute ...

Inprentus provides beamline scientists with the world’s most advanced diffraction gratings for x-ray applications, offering unparalleled efficiency and high resolving power Champaign, Illinois, USA, ...

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 ...
