A diffraction grating is an optical element that diffracts energy into its constituent wavelengths. The groove density, depth and profile of a diffraction grating dictate the spectral range, efficiency, resolution and performance of the diffraction grating. A diffraction grating is a periodically structure of subsequent most evenly spaced grating lines. Those grooves or opaque lines diffract the incident light depending on its periocity and microstructure. Depending on the light's incidence angle, rainbow-colored patterns are discernible on a projection surface behind a transmission or reflection grating (except for gratings of the zero order). The colored patterns are known as optical spectrum. It is used as the key component in optical spectroscopy, telecommunication multiplexing or laser systems. Fiber Bragg Grating is not included in this report.
Global Diffraction Gratings key players include HORIBA, Newport Corporation, Edmund Optics, Shimadzu Corporation, Lightsmyth (Finisar), etc. Global top five manufacturers hold a share about 50%. North America is the largest market, with a share about 35%, followed by Japan, with a share about 20 percent. In terms of product, Holographic Gratings is the largest segment, with a share about 50%. And in terms of application, the largest application is Monochromator and Spectrometer, followed by Laser, Optical Telecom, Astronomy, etc.
