In composing the fourth edition of the Diffraction Grating Handbook in early 2000, I did not expect to worry about a fifth edition for several years, as Thermo RGL had 10,000 copies printed. By the beginning of 2002, however, we had distributed all but a few hundred copies, so either a reprinting of the fourth edition or of an updated version was required. The technical staff of Thermo RGL has made the latter choice, which has led to this expanded and corrected version of the Handbook. gratinglab.com......Page 0 Diffraction Grating Handbook - 5th Edition......Page 1 Table of Contents......Page 2 The Diffraction Grating Handbook - Preface to 5th Ed.......Page 9 The Diffraction Grating Handbook - Preface to 4th Ed.......Page 10 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 1......Page 11 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 1......Page 16 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 3......Page 39 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 4......Page 45 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 5......Page 58 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 6......Page 67 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 7......Page 75 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 8......Page 95 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 9......Page 107 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 10......Page 129 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 11......Page 143 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 12......Page 155 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 13......Page 163 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 14......Page 167 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Chapter 15......Page 172 Diffraction Grating Handbook - Appendix A......Page 179 The Diffraction Grating Handbook - Bibliography......Page 197 The Diffraction Grating Handbook - Acknowledgements......Page 200 The Diffraction Grating Handbook - Publications......Page 201 Offers And Up-to-date Assessment Of The Entire Field Of Diffraction Gratings, Including History, Physics, Manufacture, Testing, And Instrument Design.
