  • Patent number: 6469846
    Abstract: In order to provide a grism wherein even if the vertex angle of a prism increases, it does not exceed its critical angle, besides, which can elevate its efficiency, and mass-production of which is possible, whereby reduction in cost of which can be realized. The grism comprises a first prism having a high refractive index, a second prism having a high refractive index, and a volume phase grating used for a diffraction grating; and the vertex angle of the first prism being opposed to the vertex angle of the second prism so as to sandwich the volume phase grating between the first prism and the second prism.
    Type: Grant
