Abstract
An optical wavelength selection apparatus containing a surface-relief transmission diffraction grating, a collimating lens for collimating a beam incident to the diffraction grating, and a focusing lens for focusing the beams diffracted by the diffraction grating. The diffraction grating, after having been subjected to a test condition of 85 degrees centigrade and a relative humidity of 85 percent for at least 500 hours, has diffraction efficiency performance within 6 percent of that achieved before being subjected to these test conditions.
