Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 250, No. 1263 (Apr. 7, 1959), pp. 439-459 (21 pages) An intricate repetitive fringe pattern, due to the ...

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 ...

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 ...

A short length of optical fiber that filters out a particular wavelength. Periodically spaced zones in the fiber core are altered to have different refractive indexes slightly higher than the core.

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, ...

The Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) laser diode family from LASER COMPONENTS offers high power, edge emitting, monolithic DBR laser design, single frequency. Ideal for applications in spectroscopy, ...
