Scientists from the UK and China have developed a lateral-graded multilayer grating that addresses a key challenge in tender X-ray RIXS technique. Demonstrated at the I21 beamline in Diamond Light ...

Using a novel method, beams of laser light can be deflected using air alone. An invisible grating made only of air is not only immune to damage from the laser light, but it also preserves the original ...

A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could lead to ...

Diffraction gratings are curious things. Score a series of equally spaced tiny lines in a surface, and it will cause reflected or transmitted light to bend and separate into its component wavelengths.

The Inprentus Team has developed proprietary software to predict diffraction efficiency of real, manufactured groove shapes illuminated at designed scattering conditions, order, and energy range. The ...

Here’s a great picture from [Jelly & Marshmallows] that shows off the wild effects of melted chocolate poured onto a diffraction grating. A diffraction grating is a kind of optical component whose ...

Inprentus provides beamline scientists with the world’s most advanced diffraction gratings for x-ray applications, offering unparalleled efficiency and high resolving power Champaign, Illinois, USA, ...

Conventional curved lenses, which direct light by refraction in glass or plastic, are often bulky and heavy, offering only limited control of light waves. Metasurfaces, in contrast, are flat and ...

MOSCOW, November 2. /TASS/. A group of scientists from the Kirensky Institute of Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Siberian Federal University’s (SFU) Institute ...

Sunlight reaches the earth as white light, which is made up of all the rainbow colors. Rainbow colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. It is easy to remember them by using the ...
