Instead, by 3D printing onto an existing diffraction grating, the print can pick up the texture on its base layer. It’s a great way to add iridescence and shine to a print.

The Grating Challenge. This page contains hints, solutions, and advanced challenges for our diffraction grating challenge. If you would like a grating (or a set for your class if you are a teacher), ...

Chocolate plus diffraction grating equals rainbow chocolate. Here’s a great picture from [Jelly & Marshmallows] that shows off the wild effects of melted chocolate poured onto a diffraction grating.

It's the reason CDs and even vinyl records give off rainbows when tilted at a certain angle. ... Light passing through the slit strikes another diffraction grating to create an image.

The diffraction grating of a spectrometer partially determines the optical resolution that can be achieved by the spectrometer and also determines the wavelength range. Selecting the correct grating ...

Q: What are diffraction gratings? A diffraction grating is an optical component for spectroscopy that splits light into different wavelengths. A typical diffraction grating has thousands of ...

A new diffraction grating is available! The new Gold coated diffraction grating is ideal for work from 20 to 80 nanometers. It joins the Gold coated 2400g/mm used at energies above 250 eV and the ...

A material that is capable of the “reverse diffraction” of light and that is inspired by butterfly wings has been made by researchers in the US. The structure combines features of the butterfly’s ...

When looking at a typical diffraction-grating surface (such as a compact disc), colours with increasing wavelength appear more prominent at increasing observation angle. This is not the case for a ...

Rotating the diffraction grating controls which wavelengths of light reach another mirror, which in turn focuses these wavelengths onto a photodetector, such as a charge-coupled device.
