	~~In atomic physics~~, ~~a '''ridged mirror''' (or '''ridged atomic mirror''', or '''Fresnel diffraction mirror''')~~ is a kind of [[atomic mirror]], designed for the specular reflection of neutral particles ([[atoms]]) coming at the [[grazing]] incidence angle, characterised in the following: ''in order to reduce the mean attraction of particles to the surface and increase the reflectivity, this surface has narrow ridges''.

	Various estimates for the efficiency of [[quantum reflection]] of waves from '''ridged mirror''' were discussed in the literature. All the estimates explicitly use the [[de Broglie wave\|de Broglie theory]] about wave properties of reflected atoms.
