Technology: What is a Diffraction Grating?
DUV Diffraction Grating Created by Inprentus
A diffraction grating is a periodic structure patterned into a reflective surface, which disperses light into its constituent wavelengths.
Gratings separate light into its "colors”, similar to a prism.
Allows for the control and manipulation of light.
Used in all applications in which the wavelength of light must be tuned (spectroscopy, imaging, etc.), including semiconductor manufacturing, augmented reality (AR), and in materials, chemistry, and life sciences research.
Custom Blazed Diffraction Gratings manufactured by Inprentus are used with X-Ray, UV, and Visible Light applications. Our revolutionary manufacturing techniques allow for the creation of ultra high line density and high-precision patterning of surfaces. Our exacting manufacturing process, testing program, and packaging operations ensure the highest standard of quality, providing gratings that are thoroughly clean and free from any organic low vapor pressure material or organic fluid. Each diffraction grating is measured with a variety of optical metrology instruments, and test results are provided with the delivery of each diffraction grating.
