How a Raman Grating Impacts Resolution
Finding the optimal choice of Raman grating for your specific application depends on a number of factors, including required resolution. Read on.
What You Need to Know About Laser Pulse Compression
Laser pulse compression is a well-known method to reduce the duration of a laser pulse in order to recompress the stretched pulse length. Read on to learn more.
5 Applications of Transmission Gratings
Many optical systems depend upon diffraction gratings to resolve light into desirable spectra by dispersing light into its component wavelengths. Conventional reflection gratings disperse polychromatic light into its constituent colours using a series of parallel rulings, engineered to have the desired dispersion efficiency profile by controlling the distance between these […]

Grisms: Uses and Advantages
What is a grism? A grism is a compound optical element composed of a GRating and prISM(s). It is a dispersive element that permits an in-line optical layout by cleverly exploiting the differences between gratings and prisms. The prism deflects violet light more than red, while a diffraction grating deflects […]
