Figure 1
Diffraction of a radiation beam striking a diffraction grating with periodicity d and an angle of grazing incidence of ϕ, and which is diffracted by an angle of θ away from the surface. The situation is presented for a blazed grating with blaze angle γ. In the first two grooves on the left, grey triangles indicate up to which inclination the sawtooth angle can deviate from a right angle without affecting the diffraction process. Here the angle φ is referred to as the anti-blaze angle. |
