Subject is a kind of has definition

diffraction grating spectrograph dispersing element An optical device containing thousands of very fine parallel grooves which produce interference patterns in a way which separates out all the components of the light into a spectrum.

blazed grating diffraction grating Diffraction grating so ruled that the reflected light is concentrated into only a few orders, or even a single order, of the spectrum.
