diffractively |
As a noun diffraction
is (quantum mechanics) the breaking up of an electromagnetic wave as it passes a geometric structure (eg a slit), followed by reconstruction of the wave by interference.
As an adverb diffractively is
in a diffractive manner; by means of, or accompanied by diffraction.

microdiffraction |
As nouns the difference between diffraction and microdiffraction
is that
diffraction is (quantum mechanics) the breaking up of an electromagnetic wave as it passes a geometric structure (eg a slit), followed by reconstruction of the wave by interference while
microdiffraction is (physics) diffraction that uses x-rays focused to a spot size of one micron or less to achieve very high spatial resolution.

nondiffracting |
As a noun diffraction
is the breaking up of an electromagnetic wave as it passes a geometric structure (e.g. a slit), followed by reconstruction of the wave by interference.
As an adjective nondiffracting is
not causing or undergoing diffraction.
diffraction |
subdiffraction |
As a noun diffraction
is (quantum mechanics) the breaking up of an electromagnetic wave as it passes a geometric structure (eg a slit), followed by reconstruction of the wave by interference.
As an adjective subdiffraction is
describing any optical device or process involving a dimension shorter than that of the diffraction limit of the light involved.
