Paper Abstract
Volume-Phase Holographic (VPH) gratings provide unique capabilities over classical surface gratings which can be exploited in modern astronomical spectrographs. The peak diffraction efficiency of a VPH grating is tunable due to the nature of Bragg diffraction. This allows a single dispersing element to serve the function of several classical gratings. Additionally, VPH grating structures can be stacked to produce complex gratings capable of directing the diffracted light in ways that classical gratings can not.
