`Blaze maximum grating efficiency maps', i.e. isoefficiency curves according to (6), for gold-coated blazed gratings in a plot of deflection angle ϕ + θ versus photon energy for different groove densities (from top to bottom) of 1200 mm−1, 300 mm−1 and 75 mm−1. The efficiencies corresponding to the borders between different colours are indicated in the colour bar, which covers the range of efficiencies in blaze maximum 0 < e < 0.7. |
