Since the beginning of our involvement in VUV instrumentation HORIBA Scientific has developed new optical components, monochromator designs and instrumentation in collaboration with different synchrotron centers from around the world. This has enabled us to increase the resolution and the flux as well as to minimise the high harmonic contamination. A few examples are; holographic recording process for gratings in 1969, the design and manufacture of the famous Toroidal Grating Monochromator (TGM) in 1975 and the world's first holographic ion etched gratings in 1983.
