Fig. 8 Replica Grating
Shimadzu gratings are made by replicating a master. The grating grooves are formed with resin on top of a glass substrate (blank), as shown in Fig. 8. A reflective coating (e.g., Aℓ) is applied to the grooves. Because the grating grooves are formed with resin, care is required for use or storage in locations with high temperatures or high humidity conditions.
