Guiding lasers where they need to go is a key part of optics systems, and now engineers at DESY have developed a way to bend laser beams without anything touching them. The light is deflected using an ...

Resonant effects in dielectric gratings were first clearly identified in the early 1990s 1 as having promise for applications in free-space optical filtering 2,3 and sensing 4,5. They typically occur ...

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 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 ...

Whether you get it off the block or grab handfuls from a bag, grated cheese is an important food. The tiny teeth of the grater transform it from a solid state into fluffy clouds of parmesan or piles ...

Miner Enterprises has acquired Texas-based DFW Grating, a manufacturer of metal grating products. The acquisition further expands Miner’s broad product line, which includes draft gears, outlet gates, ...

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 ...

Can't get enough of the Mackinac Bridge? The Mackinac Bridge Authority is once again giving Michiganders a chance to own a piece of the iconic span. The Mackinac Bridge Authority is offering sections ...
