An interference-diffractometric method for measuring the groove spacing of diffraction gratings (periodical standards of small length) and a method for examining the quality of diffraction gratings are developed and investigated. They are based on the holographic method of controlling the sensitivity of the interference measurements using the repeat recording of holograms with compensation for the aberrations of the optical system. Measurements of the groove spacing (398 nm) of the holographic grating were performed with an error of 5 nm. 4 refs., 4 figs.
