Introduction
Ruled gratings are diffraction gratings manufactured by mechanically forming precise grooves on an optical substrate using a controlled ruling process. The carefully defined groove profile enables efficient diffraction performance and allows the grating to be optimized for specific wavelength ranges and optical requirements.
Ruled gratings provide versatile spectral control by allowing optical systems to achieve efficient wavelength separation and precise light dispersion. Their established performance and adaptability make them widely used in applications where stable diffraction efficiency and predictable optical behavior are required.
