Zusammenfassung

This article is more particularly devoted to fundamental properties of optical gratings, some of which have not yet been fully discussed in the literature. More generally, it is devoted to a rigorous treatment of basic principles which have been found to be apphcable when dealing with practical or theoretical situations in the properties, ruling, testing and use of optical gratings. A list of references is given in the bibliography, to guide work towards additional apphcations. A brief historical review of the most relevant highlights in the development of the theory and ruling methods of gratings is given, and particular emphasis is laid on the most advanced apphcable mathematical and experimental approaches.
