are found in cutting-edge scientific applications including
ultrafast and high-energy lasers, space flight instruments,
astronomy, and synchrotron spectrometers. In addition,
our high-volume replicated gratings are used in OEM

Advanced technologies for grating production
A diffraction grating is produced by first ruling or holographic recording a master grating. We can
then replicate this master into a large number of exact copies, called replicas, for cost savings and
product consistency.
Master gratings are manufactured using the following technologies:
l Holographic recording
l Ion-etching of holographic master
l Mechanical ruling
Holographically recorded gratings Through careful design and configuration of the holographic
recording apparatus, we can obtain plane and concave
The era of modern holography began in the 1960s with “Type I” gratings (parallel grooves, uniformly spaced), or
the use of lasers as coherent light sources. In 1967 the “Type IV” gratings with variable-spaced grooves for full

pulses, it may correspond to different beam fluences.
For example:
for 61° incidence, 1.7 J/cm2 fluence on the grating surface,
will be equal to 3.5 J/cm2 beam fluence
(cos61° = 0.48);
and for 72° incidence, 1.7 J/cm2 fluence on the grating
surface will be equal to 5.5 J/cm2 beam fluence (cos
72°=0.31).
Consequently, designs with higher incidence angle on the

favorable for damage threshold.

High-efficiency UV transmission gratings

(grisms) engraved into CaF2 substrates
Through our expertise in ion etching, HJY has developed

a process which allows us to produce optimized groove
patterns in CaF2. A master grating is ruled in a gold layer
deposited on top of the grating substrate, and then the
groove profile is transferred by ion etching directly into the
substrate itself. The result is a monolithic sawtooth-profile
grating which can withstand extreme temperatures and
environmental conditions.
A saw-tooth profile transmission grating, ion-etched directly
into a CaF2 substrate for use at 140 nm in second order, has
been successfully produced for the GALEX experiments.
