VOLUME PHASE HOLOGRAPHIC TRANSMISSION GRATINGS 600

VOLUME PHASE HOLOGRAPHIC
TRANSMISSION GRATINGS
600 l/mm at 1550 nm
These high-efficiency gratings work well in the
C-band NIR spectrum around 1550 nm. They are
created by using coherent laser light and recording
the interference pattern in dichromated gelatin. After
processing, the grating is capped with a protective
glass cover and then AR coated. The resulting
grating has low scatter, high diffraction efficiency, and
low wavefront distortion. The grating is durable and
can be cleaned by the same methods used to clean
other AR coated optics. These gratings are available
in 25 mm and 50 mm diameter un-mounted or
mounted in a black anodized aluminum ring.
