planar grating
Explanation:
Red de difracción -> diffraction grating (See references).

NOTE: The original sentence is not...
{difracción [de una rendija]} y {una red planar}
but...
difracción de {[una rendija] y [una red planar]}

So that would make it
"Single slit and planar grating diffraction."
