Lyot Filter at Prime Focus : a Method for Tracing
Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT Tunable narrow-band, emission-line surveys have begun to show the ease with which star forming galaxies can be identified in restricted redshift intervals to z ∼ 5 with a 4m class telescope. These surveys have been carried out with imaging systems at the Cassegrain or Nasmyth focus and are therefore restricted to fields smaller than 10 ′. We now show that tuna...
متن کاملLiquid crystal Lyot tunable filter with extended free spectral range.
Extension of the dynamic range of liquid crystal tunable Lyot filter is demonstrated by incorporating with it a liquid crystal variable retarder as an eliminator for the third and fourth order peaks. The filter is continuously tunable in the range 500 nm to 900 nm with a nominal width in the range 50nm-100nm. Design procedure is described including the exact solution to the LC director profile ...
متن کاملMechanically-Tunable Composite Filter at Low Frequencies
Previous studies into the possibility of a plasmonic medium of a coiled conductor array in air have shown promise. This work serves to evaluate the possibility of creating a mechanically-tunable composite filter at low frequencies. Copper springs were created with varying starting pitches using a coil winder. These springs were then embedded into a flexible host polymer. The mechanical and elec...
متن کاملA method to measure the mirror reflectivity of a prime focus telescope
We have developed a method to measure the mirror reflectivity of telescopes. While it is relatively easy to measure the local reflectivity of the mirror material, it is not so straightforward to measure the amount of light that it focuses in a spot of a given diameter. Our method is based on the use of a CCD camera that is fixed on the mirror dish structure and observes simultaneously part of t...
متن کاملMultispectral image capture using a tunable filter
In this article we describe the experimental setup of a multispectral image acquisition system consisting of a professional monochrome CCD camera and a tunable filter in which the spectral transmittance can be controlled electronically. We have performed a spectral characterisation of the acquisition system taking into account the acquisition noise. To convert the camera output signals to devic...
