Gratings are typical diffractive optics with numerous equally spaced parallel periodic microgrooves. Diffraction and interference split light according to wavelength/angle for dispersion, equal multichannel intensity division, or beam steering. They are classified as amplitude or phase gratings by modulation action. Definition: an amplitude grating is a '*** traditional' DOE, retaining the source masking. Alternating transmitting/blocking regions form periodic microgrids, blocking/attenuating part of the input to '******' change amplitude and provide stable spectral/beam splitting. It is a classic diffractive splitter; see schematic. Key parameters: 1. Diffraction efficiency, the fraction of energy entering diffraction orders, is lower than in phase gratings. 2. Operating wavelength, mainly designed for visible/near IR; select to optical conditions/application. 3. Period, adjacent-line distance, is the source's '*** basic' geometry and determines diffraction angle/splitting. A formula is referenced but absent; d is period, an unnamed quantity is diffraction angle, k is order, and λ incident laser wavelength. 4. Duty cycle, transmitting width divided by total period. The referenced formula is absent; a denotes slit width, d period, T duty cycle from 0~1. 5. Spectral resolution separates small wavelength differences/bands; the source states smaller periods give finer spectral separation. 6. Blocking-layer uniformity, metal-film thickness consistency/density, affects stray-light suppression. Principle: periodic bright/dark microgrids '******' control incident amplitude, as masked in the source, and diffraction splits light. At normal incidence, blocking regions intercept energy while clear regions transmit. Transmitted beams diffract/interfere into multiple orders for wavelength separation and angular steering. Blocking causes intrinsic energy losses, leaving much energy unavailable for diffractive imaging, and relatively higher stray/zero-order fractions. Manufacturing/customization: amplitude gratings are core basic DOEs independently designed and fully manufactured domestically. The company describes years of micro/nano-optical experience and a strong team in design, fabrication, and precision inspection with practical DOE expertise. Its integrated lithography/dry-etching platform controls simulation/design, microstructure patterning, blocking-layer production, and final inspection. Different periods and blocking structures are customized. Period, duty cycle, blocking material, and thickness adapt to application, with mature metal- or photoresist-blocking processes chosen for budget, experiments, and equipment needs. Value and stable diffraction suit basic spectroscopy, optical demonstrations, teaching/research, and routine beam modulation. Free early simulation predicts splitting, transmission, and losses to optimize lines/microstructures and reduce later setup effort and trial costs. Flexible manufacturing supports small nonstandard research/teaching samples and standardized industrial batches with stable supply/consistency. Finished devices undergo strict item-by-item checks of period accuracy, full-area duty-cycle uniformity, blocking-layer density, line straightness, and actual diffraction. Formal reports support traceable/verifiable quality. A complete domestic line improves turnaround, while dedicated one-to-one engineers quickly address matching, setup, parameter calibration, and after-sales issues. The company describes itself as a trusted '******' Chinese independent supplier, retaining the masking. Contact it for custom manufacturing and professional efficient technical/product service; the source contains a stray 's' in its customization invitation.

Applications

Teaching optics equipment: the simple, intuitive structure demonstrates basic diffraction and spectral separation, reducing setup costs. Simple spectral detection: suitable for low-cost spectral acquisition equipment without demanding optical utilization requirements, providing basic wavelength separation. Basic laser splitting paths: simple splitting and deflection of low-power lasers to meet basic optical control needs. Displacement sensing and grating scales: used with photodetectors, changes in diffraction spot position provide simple displacement detection and length measurement.

Key Features

Simple manufacturing: the device has only light-blocking and light-transmitting states, with no special microstructure depth requirements. Coating and contact lithography suffice, without complex groove-depth etching control, making it suitable for university optics teaching and basic diffraction demonstrations. Suitable for low-power laser paths: amplitude gratings offer excellent cost effectiveness in low-power systems and simple beam-splitting equipment without stringent optical utilization requirements. Good environmental adaptability: relaxed storage and operating conditions, good high- and low-temperature tolerance, and stable performance in conventional environments with low susceptibility to failure.
