[NTR] add "groove density" as a physical quality of a diffraction grating device

[StroemPhi]

Use case

In order to be able to describe the configuration of a Raman spectroscopy assay, within the context of the Vibrational Spectroscopy Ontology, we need to be able to describe the setting of this quality.

Preferred term label

groove density

Synonyms

groove frequency

Textual definition

A physical quality inhering in a diffraction grating device by virtue of the device's function to diffract light. This quality specifically depends on the number of grooves per area of the grating device and is usually expressed in grooves per millimeter.

Suggested parent term

PATO:physical quality

Examples

The groove density of the diffraction grating device within a Raman spectrometer that is set to 1200 grooves / mm in the configuration of the spectrometer before an assay.

I could do a PR if there are no objections to this term request.
