Put simply, the RIPLE process used in this study involves “drawing” (using a high-precision electron beam) the desired grating pattern onto a chrome masking layer placed atop a quartz substrate.

Spectroscopy seems simple: split a beam of light into its constituent wavelengths with a prism or diffraction grating, and measure the intensity of each wavelength. The devil is in the details, tho… ...

This experiment marks the first successful demonstration of atomic diffraction through a crystal grating. The secret lies in the energy dynamics of the atoms.

This spectrometer design is not symmetric, and the two mirrors do not have to be the same size, have the same radii of curvature or be located at the same distance from either the slits or diffraction ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail ...

For sorting laser harmonics and other applications, McPherson (Chelmsford, MA) is pleased to present a new conical-diffraction, off-plane X-ray Czerny-Turner (OP-XCT). Designed for operation from 8 to ...
