Gratings

The gratings, with 400 lines/mm, are ruled on CaF2 substrate of 4.52 mm thickness. Area of the ruling is  36 mm X 36 mm. The dispersion obtained on the detector plane is 1.2 nm/ arcsec & 0.6 nm/arcsec  in the first and second orders respectively at 136 nm. Aberrations are introduced by the grating and the PSF is ~ 2" FWHM. Grating specifications and the measured transmission curves are listed below.
