- High relative diffraction efficiency for S-polarized near infrared light resulting in excellent performance for optical communication applications.
- Less than λ/4 diffraction wavefront accuracy at 2nd order light ( λ=632.8nm).
- Highest quality level of replicated gratings is achieved using the high accuracy holographic exposure method for the master gratings.
