Product Description
  • Optical element material: soda-lime glass
  • Blaze wavelength options: 300 nm, 500 nm, 750 nm, 1000 nm, 1250 nm, 1500 nm
  • Diffraction efficiency at blaze wavelength: 60%~80%
  • Grating surface coated with aluminum film (without protective layer)
Blazed gratings achieve the transfer and concentration of light energy from the zeroth order to a specific spectral order through groove etching, serving as dispersive elements widely used in spectroscopy-related fields. LBTEK blazed gratings are replica gratings, with first-order diffraction efficiency exceeding 60% at their blaze wavelength. This series of blazed gratings is coated with an aluminum film. LBTEK offers various gratings that can be selected based on blaze wavelength, blaze angle, or groove density. For other customization requirements, please contact LBTEK Technical Support.

Shining Gratings
  • Blaze Wavelength: 300 nm, 500 nm, 750 nm, 1000 nm, 1250 nm, 1500 nm
  • Diffraction Efficiency Corresponding to Blaze Wavelength as high as 60% to 80%
  • Capable to Grate Surface Aluminum Coating (Unprotected)
LBTEK offers blazed gratings with design wavelengths of 300 nm, 500 nm, 750 nm, 1000 nm, 1250 nm, and 1500 nm, and groove densities of 300 lines/mm, 600 lines/mm, and 1200 lines/mm. These gratings are coated with an aluminum film. The optimal diffraction efficiency of LBTEK's blazed gratings at the blaze wavelength can reach between 60% and 80%. For custom requirements regarding other sizes or wavelengths, please contact LBTEK technical support. Note: The aluminum film is not coated with an SiO2 protective layer. Avoid contact with fingerprints and aerosols. When cleaning dust from the surface, only use clean dry air or nitrogen to blow away the dust. Additionally, be aware that the metal film is chemically unstable and prone to oxidation and degradation due to environmental temperature and humidity. It is recommended to store the grating in a dry cabinet after use. The grating surface may have minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect performance, and the grating remains a qualified product.
LBTEK Shining Grating can be installed on AMM3-1SL

Grating Adjustment Mount Adapters
  • Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum Alloy
  • Clamping Height Range: 20-40 mm
  • Minimum Clamping Width: 18 mm
  • Clamping Thickness: 5-10 mm

The grating adjustment mount adapter from LBTEK can be installed on Ø1-inch smooth-bore optical adjustment mounts. This assembly approach facilitates the adjustment of the pitch and yaw angles of the clamped grating. Morever, the adapter is characterized by a simple structure. By sliding the clamping blocks located above and below the adapter, the connecting screws on the rear side of the blocks can move along the machined slots, enabling height adjustment for the clamped grating and rectangular lenses. Tightening the two M3 connecting screws on the rear side secures the positions of the grating and rectangular lenses. This adapter adopts a three - point fixation mechanism, and its adjustable mounting system comprises two bottom contact lines and a top contact that utilizes a planar spring.

The grating adjustment mount adapter is mounted on a 1-inch lens mount.
