different notation and the reader should note these differences when comparing
results given by different authors. Our approach parallels that given in Chapter 5
for a general refracting surface, with those results modified to include the grating
characteristics.

APPLICATION OF FERMAT'S PRINCIPLE TO GRATING
SURFACE
Although a plane reflection grating is the element of choice in most grating
spectrometers, we choose to set up a more general case in order to derive the
general grating equation. After showing that this equation for a transmission
grating is similar to that fo ...
