The diffraction grating of a spectrometer partially determines the optical resolution that can be achieved by the spectrometer and also determines the wavelength range. Selecting the correct grating ...

Enhancement of the Petawatt laser "LFEX" [1] up to 2,000 trillion watts for one trillionth of one second. High power output implemented by a 4-beam amplifier technology and the world's highest ...

This video illustrates a 180 nm, 30 µm, 11 Hz, scan of diffraction grating taken with Bruker’s Dimension FastScan atomic force microscope (AFM). The Dimension FastScan provides high resolution and ...

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS In a study published in Light: Science & Applications, researchers from Diamond Light Source (United Kingdom), ...

First experimental observation of matter-wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom using a graphene-based diffraction grating. (Nanowerk News) One of the discoveries that fundamentally ...

Diffraction gratings are beautiful things, bending transmitted and reflected light and splitting it into its component wavelengths to create attractive iridescent rainbow patterns. It’s the same ...

The spectrum of laser technologies available to hackers has gradually widened from basic gas lasers through CO2 tubes, diode lasers, and now fiber lasers. One of the newer entries is the MOPA laser, ...

One of the coolest things about physics is that the same basic concept can pop up in several seemingly unrelated things: say, a CD, the seed shrimp’s antennae, certain fossils in the Burgess shale, ...

This page contains hints, solutions, and advanced challenges for our diffraction grating challenge. If you would like a grating (or a set for your class if you are a teacher), please contact us at ...

Using a novel method, beams of laser light can be deflected using air alone. An invisible grating made only of air is not only immune to damage from the laser light, but it also preserves the original ...
