Abstract
The role of gratings in spectroscopy is reviewed together with their historical development. The ruling of master gratings, the engines required for that purpose and the subsequent replication, all representing the current state of the art, are described. A summary of grating physics is useful in deciding on specifications for a given application. The article includes a discussion on the blazing of gratings for maximum efficiency and the test procedures generally employed.Keywords
