Abstract
The similarities and differences between diffraction gratings in monochroma tors and compact discs (CD) are described by means electron microscopy (SEM ) and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). The diffraction grating a nd CD surfaces consist of aluminum and silver or aluminum, respectively. Th e recording track measurement provides an understanding of behavior of CD a s a diffraction grating. The separation of grooves in diffraction grating a nd CD is 0.8 and 1.6 mum respectively.
