Diffraction Grating

Transmission Gratings

Custom light transmission and spectral separation solution

Introduction

Transmission gratings are optical components that diffract incident light as it passes through a periodic structure on a transparent substrate. Unlike reflection gratings that redirect diffracted light from the surface, transmission gratings allow the separated wavelengths to continue through the optical element, providing flexibility in optical system integration.

The transmitted diffraction configuration enables compact optical layouts and simplified beam paths in many spectral systems. By controlling the grating structure and substrate characteristics, transmission gratings can provide effective wavelength separation while supporting lightweight and space-efficient optical designs.
