Keep up posted on developments.
Optometrics gratings are cheaper than Edmund and just as good.
Ken, thank you for this info.
The prices are indeed much better than Edmund, and there is much more info available on their website about grating performance.
I think I will go for the smallest one for the start (12.7x12.7mm, it is suitable for the lens system I am using), 1200g/mm, 500nm blaze wavelength (http://www.optometrics.com//App_Themes/optometrics/pdfs/gratings/1200g_mm_Ruled_500_nm_Blaze.pdf), this one looks the best in terms of efficiency over the visible & IR spectrum, and it will cover the CCD sensor I plan to use (TC237, I have build the camera based on this chip a long time ago, was inspired by Audine design, but never really used it).
I can mount it inside the housing, just above the mirror, on short cables..
