Frequently Asked Questions

It is a grating designed to focus a spectrum onto a plane surface, making it ideal for use with linear or 2-D array detectors. It is produced with grooves that are neither equispaced nor parallel and is computer optimized to form near-perfect images of the entrance slit on the detector plane.

It is often possible to focus multiple sources onto the entrance slit and independently evaluate the spectrum from each source. These “Imaging Gratings” are nearly free from astigmatism, and therefore only one fixed optical element is required to construct an imaging spectrograph.

Type IV aberration corrected flat field and imaging gratings provide much better light collection efficiency and signal to noise ratio than traditional Type I Rowland circle concave gratings.

They are commonly used in spectrographs, spectroscopy, laser optics, and imaging.
