    Diffraction Grating Principle Wavelength Division Multiplexing

    A diffraction grating is a surface with a large number of parallel, equally spaced grooves or slits. When light hits the grating, each groove acts as a source of diffracted waves. These waves interfere with each other, producing sharp bright lines (maxima) at angles that depend.
