Gratings for Scientific Research
HORIBA Scientific’s diffraction gratings are found in cutting-edge scientific applications including ultrafast and highenergy lasers, space flight instruments, astronomy, and synchrotron spectrometers.
HORIBA’s scientific gratings are either masters or replicas, depending on the application. HORIBA Scientific also produces custom diffraction gratings, which can be specified according to our customers’ unique technical requirements.

Laser Pulse Compression Gratings
-
HORIBA Scientific, as Jobin Yvon has pioneered the design and development of pulse compression gratings using holographic techniques. By carefully designing the grating groove parameters, gold-coated pulse compression gratings can achieve typically diffraction average efficiencies as high as 94% at 800 nm (TiSa), 910 nm (OPCPA), 1030 nm (Ytterbium), 1 053 nm (Nd glass) or 1.55 µm. In addition, the holographic manufacturing technique can produce very large gratings that demonstrate an excellent uniformity and quality of the diffracted wavefront.

Gratings for Astronomy
-
HORIBA Scientific proposes large size Transmission Holographic Fused Silica Etched (FSE) gratings or Ruled blazed reflection gratings for Astronomy.Both technologies offer a very high efficiency, low polarization dependence and low angular sensitivity.

Gratings for Space-Flight
-
HORIBA Scientific (with its Jobin Yvon Grating Technology) has 50 years of experience in space-flight gratings. The first space flight ruled gratings were produced for the CNES mission D2A in early 70’s. Since that date, HORIBA Scientific has continuously produced some of the most technically-challenging gratings ranging from off-plane X-ray replica gratings to aspherical 5800gr/mm VLS gratings for the FUV and Transmission Grisms or very low groove density VNIR-SWIR ruled blazed gratings. HORIBA Scientific gratings (master and replica) have been space qualified and are TRL9.

Gratings for Synchrotron, FEL and EUV Light Sources
-
HORIBA Scientific holographic lamellar gratings exhibit ultra-low grooves roughness and unique efficiency uniformity making them ideal for Synchrotron, Free Electron Laser (FEL), EUV or Soft X-ray light sources.
