What is gratingin Physics
Our foundational technology allows us to create replicated gratings that offer affordable performance and our products cover the spectrum from the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) to long-wave infrared (LWIR).
Raptor Photonics continues to push the boundaries in scientific SWIR imaging with the launch of the Ninox 640 SU, a vacuum cooled to -80°C InGaAs camera, offering ultra-low dark current for longer exposure times up to 5 minutes. Combining a low read noise of <40e- in high gain and a dark current reading of <300e/p/s at -80°C, the Ninox Ultra is one of the most sensitive SWIR cameras available on the market and perfect for imaging weak signals using longer exposure times. It offers a resolution of 640x512 and has a 15µm x 15µm pixel pitch. The camera also offers a high intra-scene dynamic range of 56dB, enabling simultaneous capture of bright and dark portions of a scene.
Our patented filtered diffraction gratings are a custom solution for OEM applications requiring isolation of the desired spectral band prior to diffraction, and are design limited in doing so prior to the diffraction grating component. Filtering the undesired spectral band prior to diffraction minimizes second order and ray scattering effects, maximizing spectral dynamic range.
Echelle replica gratings are special low period gratings designed for use in high orders only. The maximum possible resolution is obtained but, in general, it is necessary to use a second grating or prism to separate out the overlapping diffracted orders. Echelle replica gratings are an ideal solution for high-resolution spectroscopy due to their high dispersion in high orders.
We manufacture custom gratings to meet specialty needs including: Multi-zone gratings, cylindrical gratings, and concave gratings.
The camera has a readout noise (rms) reading of 30 electrons, enabling a high intra-scene dynamic range for simultaneous capture of bright and dark portions of a scene.

What is gratingconstant
We provide several coating options to tailor reflectivity and efficiency. Protected Aluminum (Al) – Aluminum coat with a thin overcoat of magnesium flouride (MgF2) which prevents the formation of aluminum oxide which is absorbing in deep UV. It provides no benefit over bare aluminum for gratings used in VIS and IR. Gold (Au) – Superior performance over aluminum in the NIR region. Below 600nm the reflectance of gold falls off significantly and is a poor choice. Above 1200nm, gold offers very little advantage for a single pass application.
Dispersion required and efficiency at peak wavelength are often trade-offs. Coarse gratings, for example, generally have higher peak efficiency but lower dispersion.
Omega Optical has a patent-pending deep ultraviolet transmission grating. Formerly the domain of expensive etched fused silica gratings, these economical yet high performance gratings are available for your instrumentation today.

A transmission grating offers a basic simplicity for optical designs that can be beneficial in fixed grating applications such as spectrographs (aka optical spectrometer). The incident light is dispersed on the opposite side of the grating at a fixed angle. Transmission gratings are very forgiving for certain types of grating alignment errors.

Diffraction gratingformula
Typical holographic diffraction gratings are produced on soda lime and fused silica glass substrates from high quality holographic master gratings and are intended for use in spectrometers and monochromators where cost and low stray light are of primary concern. They exhibit a flatter response due to their sinusoidal groove profile.

What is gratingelement
Ruled diffraction gratings have a higher peak efficiency than holographic diffraction gratings and a sharper spectral response around their blaze wavelength, due to their “sawtooth” groove profile. Applications like fluorescence excitation, analytical chemistry, life sciences, telecom, physics, education and space sciences – centered around a narrow wavelength range – benefit from a ruled diffraction grating blazed at that wavelength.

Original gratings are first-run diffraction gratings where a substrate, likely glass or copper, is polished to a finish better than one-tenth of a wavelength (λ/10) with a high degree of flatness. For ruled diffraction gratings, the surface is then coated with aluminum using vacuum deposition. Photosensitive (photoresist) coating is used for holographic diffraction gratings. The master grating is completed by grooving the surface with either a ruling engine or holographic system.

A diffraction grating is an optical component with a periodic structure that splits and diffracts light into several beams traveling in different directions. The directions of the beams depend on the spacing of the grating and the wavelength of the light so that the grating acts as the dispersive element.
