Using H-alpha etalon-based solar filter as an example, we address the issues of practical realization of etalon-based filters used for solar astronomy and other related applications. The design rationale as well as the choice among two conventional formats of etalons is described, depending on the requirements on the devised solar filter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
