Uses of diffraction grating?

In: Science Experiments, Spectroscopy [Edit categories]

Answer:

Diffraction gratings have many uses. Some of their uses include: spectrometers (devices which measure properties of light), monochromators (devices which only transmit rather narrow ranges of wavelengths of EM radiation chosen from sources which provide a greater range of wavelengths), but also fibre optic communication (wavelength division multiplexing, to be more specific, which allows different wavelengths of light to carry different signals over a single strand of the optical fibre), lasers and many more other things
