Abstract

Recent progress in the design of aspheric wave-front recording systems has permitted the manufacture of holographic gratings with highly variable groove densities that are suitable for flat-field spectrographs. A holographic grating thus recorded was processed to produce a laminar profile by use of reactive-ion etching. Measurements are reported of the absolute diffraction efficiency of this grating and of a comparable mechanically ruled grating. It is found that the holographic grating is much more effective in suppressing the higher orders. The spectral resolution was determined by use of a carbon Kα x-ray generator and a spectrograph with an imaging detector. The spectral resolution of the holographic grating was approximately 3 times worse than that of the ruled grating.
