Grating Selection Tips:<br />

Groove Density <strong>of</strong> 500 mm -1<br />

- These efficiency curves relate only to <strong>the</strong> grating. System response<br />

is affected by a number <strong>of</strong> variables, including d<strong>ete</strong>ctor response.<br />

- Grating selection <strong>of</strong>ten involves trade-<strong>of</strong>fs. For example, gratings<br />

with very high groove density (lines/mm -1 ) allow greater optical<br />

resolution but at <strong>the</strong> expense <strong>of</strong> a truncated spectral range. If<br />

<strong>the</strong> user is characterizing two or three closely aligned laser wavelengths,<br />

such a trade-<strong>of</strong>f <strong>of</strong> resolution for range might be acceptable.<br />

For o<strong>the</strong>r applications, a wider range with good resolution<br />

would make better sense.<br />

Relative Efficiency<br />

- The XR grating (#31) is a good option for broad spectral coverage<br />

(200-1050 nm) without sacrificing optical resolution (~2.0 nm<br />

FHWM with a 25 µm slit). For efficiency <strong>of</strong> Grating #8 (3600 mm -1 ),<br />
