49-582 25 x 25 x 3 mm B270 Glass; Transmission Grating; 1200 Grooves/mm Uncoated

The 49-582 is a Transmission Grating, a type of optical component that separates incident light into its constituent wavelengths. This particular grating, sourced from Edmund Optics, boasts a catalog number of 49-582 and is available for purchase online. The grating's physical dimensions are 25 x 25 x 3 mm, making it a compact yet powerful tool for various optical applications.

The grating features 1200 grooves per millimeter, a high density that enables precise dispersion of light. The blaze wavelength is 400 nm, indicating the wavelength at which the grating is most efficient. The blaze angle is 36.9 degrees, a parameter that significantly influences the grating's performance. The orientation vector is (1, 0, 0), meaning the grating's grooves are parallel to the x-axis.

The grating's order is -1, a negative value that signifies the order of the spectrum. The grating side is 'Back', indicating that the incident light should be directed towards the back of the grating. The material of the grating is B270 Schott, a type of borosilicate glass known for its excellent optical properties.

The grating is uncoated, meaning it does not have any additional layers of material applied to enhance its performance. This may be suitable for certain applications where specific coating properties are not required. The grating is designed to work with a wavelength of 588 nm, making it suitable for applications that operate within this range.
