Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A METHOD OF PRODUCING A LINED OPTICAL GRATING WHICH COMPRISES: (A) COOLING AN ELONGATED RECTANGULAR CRYSTAL OF HIGH QUALITY TO A TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 4*K., (B) SENDING A MONOCHROMATIC STANDING LONGITUDINAL SOUND WAVE HAVING A FREQUENCY OF FROM ABOUT 6,000 TO ABOUT 60,000 MAGACYCLES/SEC. THROUGH AN END OF SAID CRYSTAL TO PRODUCE A STANDING VIBRATION PATTERN OF ATOMS IN THE SURFACE OF SAID CRYSTAL ALONG THE LONGITUDINAL LENGTH OF SAID CRYSTAL, (C) VAPORIZING A METAL INTO ATOMS OF THE METAL, AND (D) DEPOSITING SAID KMETAL ATOMS ONTO THE SURFACE OF SAID CRYSTAL HAVING SAID STANDING VIBRATION PATTERN OF ATOMS THEREIN, WHEREIN SAID METAL ATOMS FORM DEFINITE LINES ON THE SURFACE OF SAID CRYSTAL.
