X-ray-optics technology has progressed such that future astrophysics X-ray observatories will have orders-of magnitude better performance than existing observatories such as NASA's Chandra X-ray ...

In this paper, we demonstrate for the first time the design and fabrication of a new laterally graded MLG with spherical variable-line-spacing (SVLS) structure for the TRIXS (2000–3000 eV) at I21 ...

Compact imaging spectrometer combines a catadioptric lens and a special flat immersion reflection grating. (Courtesy: Ronald B. Lockwood, MIT Lincoln Laboratory) A new, slimline imaging spectrometer ...

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 ...

The combination of broadband light sources with the path length enhancement achievable with an optical cavity allows for spectrally resolved optical extinction. Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are high ...

Visual demonstration of the performance of the diffraction grating. The zeroth order transmission refers to light that goes straight through the grating without undergoing diffraction (which should be ...

Diffraction gratings are curious things. Score a series of equally spaced tiny lines in a surface, and it will cause reflected or transmitted light to bend and separate into its component wavelengths.

Spectroscopic imaging is a combination of spectroscopy and imaging that provides more information regarding the spectra of a sample than conventional imaging. For example, it enables the visualization ...

The AvaSpec range of line of instruments offers several configuration options to improve the spectroscopic and optical performance of the instrument for specific applications. This article provides ...

Hamamatsu Photonics's C10988MA-01 is a unique, ultra-compact spectrometer built using MOEMS (Micro-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems) technology. Measuring only 27.6 x 13 x 16.8 mm, the spectrometer was ...
