Abstract
A microcomputer‐generated one‐dimensional quasi‐crystal grating is produced on a high‐resolution monitor. Photographic reproduction of the grating with about a 30× reduction in size produces an acceptable optical grating. The location of diffraction maxima and the relative intensity pattern produced by passing HeNe laser light through the grating is compared to the theoretical prediction with mixed results. The comparison of two types of film that can be used for this experiment is also discussed.Keywords
