Diffraction Gratings minimize stray light.

Blazed Holographic Diffraction Gratings are aluminum coated with ion-beam etching to create standard sawtooth design. Since technique eliminates need for diamond-tipped tooling, periodic structure errors that cause stray light are no longer present. Gratings are suitable for all varieties of spectrometers, spectrophotometers, and monochromators.
