Abstract
The different sources of scattered light from diffraction gratings are considered, together with Fraunhofer diffraction in the wings of the spectral line, and the conditions necessary for an unambiguous specification are listed. Measurements of scattered light made with a helium-neon laser are quoted for a number of gratings and comparisons are made between interference (holographic) and ruled gratings.Keywords
