The catalog number system

All standard Newport gratings have a catalog number, according to the following format:

AA BBB CC DD - EEE x

  • The 1st and 2nd characters AA are numerals that indicate the type of grating:
33 Diced
43 Wedged
52 Concave
53 Plano
54 Plano Transmission
63 Score and Snap
65 Grism
  • The 3rd, 4th and 5th characters BBB are numerals that indicate the size of the grating substrate.


  • The 6th and 7th characters CC are letters that indicate the substrate material:
AL aluminum
BF borosilicate float
BK BK-7 glass or equivalent
CU copper
FL float glass
FS fused silica
PX Corning Pyrex®
SP special glass (unspecified)
TB BK-7, transmission grade
TF fused silica, transmission grade
UL Corning ULE® glass
ZD Schott Zerodur®
  • The 8th and 9th characters DD are numerals that indicate the type of coating.
01 aluminum
02 gold
03 aluminum with MgF2
06 protected silver
07 transmission
  • The 10th, 11th and 12th characters EEE serve to identify the groove parameters: the groove frequency, blaze angle and blaze wavelength. [In the case of concave gratings, these characters indicate the substrate radius as well].


  • The last character x indicates the type of master grating used to make the product:
E echelle
H holographic
R ruled (non-echelle)


Example: 53004BK01-010R

53 → plano grating
004 → 30 x 30 x 10 mm (substrate dimensions); 26 x 26 mm (ruled area)
BK → BK-7 substrate material
01 → aluminum coating
010 → 600 g/mm, 5.2° blaze angle master grating
R → ruled master

Example: 53015FS02-200H

53 → plano grating
015 → 110 x 110 x 16 mm (substrate dimensions); 102 x 102 mm (ruled area)
FS → fused silica substrate material
02 → gold coating
200 → 1200 g/mm, blazed at 250 nm
H → holographic master

Example: 53028ZD06-414E

53 → plano grating
028 → 165 x 220 x 35 mm (substrate dimensions); 154 x 206 mm (ruled area)
ZD → Schott Zerodur® substrate material
06 → protected silver coating
414 → 31.6 g/mm, 76° blaze angle
E → echelle master

Example: 52027BK03-010H

52 → concave grating

BK → BK-7 substrate material
03 → aluminum with MgF2
010 → 1200 g/mm, constant-deviation grating, blazed at 250 nm
H → holographic master
