Abstract:
To eliminate the eccentricity effect, a new method for measuring the groove density of a variable-line-space grating was adapted. Based on grating equation, groove density is calculated by measuring the internal angles between zeroth-order and first-order diffracted light for two different wavelengths with the same angle of incidence. The measurement system mainly includes two laser sources, a phase plate, plane mirror, and charge coupled device. The measurement results of a variable-line-space grating demonstrate that the experiment data agree well with theoretical values, and the value of measurement error (ΔN/N) is less than 2.72 × 10(-4).
