Edmund Optics® Expands Deep UV Portfolio with Award-Winning Off-the-Shelf Transmission Gratings

Edmund Optics^® has introduced a line of Omega Optical DUV Transmission Gratings designed for peak performance in the deep ultraviolet (DUV) spectrum—available off-the-shelf. These award-winning gratings were recognized with a 2025 SPIE Prism Award for their breakthrough performance in the deep ultraviolet range—underscoring their innovation and impact in optical engineering. These gratings are uniquely optimized for wavelengths as short as 190 nm, a range where conventional optical components often fail due to material and efficiency challenges.

Offering excellent first-order diffraction efficiency below 200 nm, these gratings enable more usable light in critical applications such as high-resolution spectroscopy, advanced lithography, and precision biomedical instrumentation. Customers benefit from better diffraction efficiencies, improved system throughput, and seamless availability—without the delays of custom sourcing.

Unlike other solutions that require special order, Edmund Optics provides these cutting-edge DUV gratings off the shelf on their e-commerce website for immediate purchase. Customers now have a streamlined path to high-performance DUV integration, backed by Edmund Optics’ extensive inventory and expert support.
