grating

A series of black and white parallel bars of equal width used to measure visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and resolution of optical systems. The grating can be either square-wave (also called Foucault grating or Foucault pattern), in which the luminance across a bar is constant, or sine-wave, in which the luminance varies sinusoidally (Fig. G6). See cycle per degree; contrast sensitivity function.
