Frequently Asked Questions

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 due to their large optical numerical aperture and correction from aberrations.

These gratings are designed to focus a spectrum onto a plane surface, making them ideal for use with linear or 2-D array detectors. They are used in applications such as spectrographs, spectroscopy, laser optics, and imaging.

When an area detector such as a CCD is utilized, it is often possible to focus multiple sources onto the entrance slit and independently evaluate the spectrum from each source.

These gratings are blazed by ion etching, which results in higher efficiency.

Yes, these gratings are interchangeable (same geometry of use).
