    Oriel Instruments solves this problem by using a diameter which would give the equivalent area to the grating. For example: the effective F number of the Oriel 77781 is calculated by using the focal length of 220 mm, and grating size of 50 mm square. The grating has an area of 2500 sq.

    Figure 23: The "Grating Equation" In monochromators designed by Oriel Instruments, the input slit and collimating mirror fix the direction of the input beam that strikes the grating.

    M77781A MS257™ USB/RS232 MONOCHROMATOR AND SPECTROGRAPH Grating Orders Gratings have the property of dispersing light into a series of orders (See Figure 25). The zero order is simply reflected light, and zero order light defines the zero degree grating angle in a monochromator. The phenomenon of multiple orders can be an advantage since the 2nd order has twice the dispersion of the first order, and so on.

Gratings can be blazed by making the groove faces at a specific angle to the grating surface. The blaze wavelength is achieved by cutting a groove with an angle such that the facet normal bisects the angle between the incident and diffracted rays (see Figure 23).
