Abstract Efficient spectral narrowing and accurately reproducible tuning of a dye laser has been achieved by the combination of a low-loss narrow-band interference filter and a solid-quartz-plate-Fabry-Perot-etalon. Bandwidths as small as 5-10-3 Å were obtained by this simple system increasing the spectral density by a factor of at least 2 · 103.

AbstractThe radial ion temperature distribution in a 2600 amp hydrogen arc in a 30 kG axial magnetic field was measured spectroscopically with a Fabry-Perot interferometer by evaluating the half width of Doppler broadened carbon lines. As the admixture of methane had to be low, in order to prevent a strong reduction of the temperature on the axis, the intensities of the C III and C IV lines were relatively weak. Consequently an interference filter with narrow transmission band width was used instead of a spectrograph in front of the F.-P.-interferometer. The broadening of the spectral lines, which were used for measurement, was caused mainly by the thermal Doppler effect. The rotation of the plasma and the macroscopical Doppler effect resulting therefrom did not disturb the measurements. The ion temperature, which was found to be 1.4 × 105 °K on the axis, was determined from the half width of the profiles of a C III spectral line. Since the discharge was observed side-on, the measured integrated values were reduced to radial profiles by using appropriate inversion formulae.

AbstractInterpretations of the eclipse Fabry-Perot interferograms obtained by different authors are compared particularly in point of view of velocity measurements. Advantages and disadvantages of the instrumentation consisting of a Fabry-Perot etalon and a narrow band interference filter are discussed when a coronal emission is imposed on steep gradient coronal continuum. A list of optical and near infrared emission coronal lines is analyzed and a recommendation for employment of the Fe XIV (5303Å) and Fe XI (7892Å) is given. An optical sketch of the Fabry-Perot instrumentation is suggested. It allows to select both the instrumental and coronal continuum contributions to get reliable data on the field velocity.

The use of a Fabry-Pérot filter as a positive transmission photosystem is discussed first. Its construction is similar to an interference filter with multistacked mirrors. A lead–iodide and copper photosensitive element is made in such a way as to be combined with the multistacked mirrors. We then propose a method to fabricate the filter which is independent of the refractive indices of the materials. Finally, we present the sensitivity and contrast results of the photosystems.

<p>Continuous atmospheric probing by a lidar is a requirement for many applications. However, due to high solar background noise during the daytime, lidar operations are mostly restricted to night-time. While many techniques are in practice, like reducing the receiver field of view, changing the view angle, introducing a narrow band Interference Filter (IF), these are applied to circumvent problems, rather than to suppress the noise. Using a Fabry-Perot interferometer as a narrow passband filter for solar background noise suppression is a known technique, and its potential is exploited in our system. An optical-fiber-coupled lidar system with its transmitter injection seeded was developed and has been operated during the daytime at Gadanki (13.6˚N, 79.2˚ E). The signal-to-noise ratio of the return signal is used as the performance indicator, to evaluate the improvements. Signal-to-noise ratios with and without the Fabry-Perot interferometer are measured with near identical test set-ups. The signal-to-noise ratio enhancement factor is ca. 4, in agreement with the theoretical value. The performance is compared when the receiver fields of view are changed.</p>

AbstractRecently passive optical devices like filter structures or waveguides based on porous silicon have attracted high interest due to their easy and cheap fabrication. We have formed interference filters using porous silicon by changing the current density during formation. For the specific design of these filter structures a calibration of the etch rate and the refractive indices is required. Therefore we have determined the effective dielectric function for different substrate doping levels and anodization current densities by fitting reflectance spectra. Based on these results different kinds of reflectance filters consisting of discrete layers (Bragg reflectors, Fabry-Perot filters) as well as filters with a continuous change of the refractive indices with depth (rugate-filters) can be realised. Furthermore we present applications of these filter structures such as anti-reflectance coatings and high quality mirrors.
