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 ...

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.

The ESIS-II mission aims to capture high-speed “snapshot” images of the Sun’s transition region and corona. To achieve this, ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

For the first time, physicists have watched a beam of positronium, a short‑lived atom made of an electron and its antimatter ...

Spectroscopy seems simple: split a beam of light into its constituent wavelengths with a prism or diffraction grating, and measure the intensity of each wavelength. The devil is in the details, though ...

Reflective ruled diffraction grating is a kind of optical glass substrate composed of dense, equidistant parallel lines, and the surface is coated with aluminized, multi-layer dielectric or other ...
