This holographic grating, offered by Edmund Optics, is a reflective grating with a base shape of a rectangle, measuring 30 x 30 x 9.5 mm. The grating is made of soda lime ru clear glass, a common material in optical applications due to its excellent transparency and durability.
The grating features 1800 grooves per millimeter, oriented in the x-direction, making it highly efficient for light of a specific wavelength. In this case, the grating is designed for use with light of 588 nanometers, offering high reflectivity and efficiency for this wavelength.
The grating's coating is bare aluminum on the front side, providing a high reflectivity surface for the incident light. This type of coating is often used in applications where high reflectivity is required, such as in spectroscopy or interferometry.
The grating is a bare element, meaning it does not have any additional features such as mounting holes or protective coatings. This allows for maximum flexibility in integration into optical systems, but also requires careful handling and mounting to ensure optimal performance.
