Description
Zeiss is a leading manufacturer of high-quality holographic diffraction gratings, with an emphasis on beamlines in synchrotrons and linear accelerators as well. These gratings exhibit exceptional properties, including low stray light, high diffraction efficiency, and the absence of regular addressing errors in grating line distribution. Additionally, Zeiss has the capability to produce both laminar and blazed gratings, with the option to fabricate them on silicon substrates. Plus, Zeiss’s metrology enables acquisition of VLS data already during grating manufacturing, thus providing the opportunity to correct for line distribution errors prior to the irreversible final step – the etching of the grating profile. A notable advantage of Zeiss's technology is the ability to manufacture large-scale diffraction gratings, ranging from 300 mm to 500 mm in size, which are crucial for advanced beamline applications. In this presentation, we will delve into the underlying technology that enables these innovations and present several exemplary gratings from recent projects.
