Grating: Newport 270R, master 1294

The dispersive element is a Newport 270R plane ruled reflection grating replicated from master 1294. The 270R ruling has 300 grooves/mm and a nominal first-order Littrow blaze wavelength of 500 nm (4.3° nominal blaze angle). The installed grating is used away from Littrow in the instrument’s fixed-deviation geometry, so the in-instrument efficiency peak is not expected to coincide with 500 nm exactly.
