Bandwidth Stability of the WFPC2 Narrow Band and Linear Ramp Filters
نویسنده
چکیده
As part of the WFPC2 close-out calibrations, we examine the stability of the bandwidths of the narrow band and linear ramp filters. We measure the FWHM of the spots produced by VISFLAT exposures using linear ramp filters crossed with narrow band filters. We do this for eight different pairings of narrow band and linear ramp filters. We then compare results from 1995 and 2008, and find negligible change in the bandpass FWHM for all eight filter pairs tested. Any change in the combined bandwidth is less than about 1% of the bandwidth. Our constraints on any changes in the narrow band filters (taken alone) are less strong, but we can rule out bandwidth changes larger than about 5% for typical narrow band filters (16% for the narrowest filter, F656N).

Wavelength Stability of the WFPC2 Narrow Band and Linear Ramp Filters
As part of the WFPC2 close-out calibrations, we test for long-term changes in the wavelength calibration of the narrow band and linear ramp filters. Relative wavelength measurements are made by crossing each narrow band filter with one of the linear ramp filters and taking a VISFLAT, and then noting the position of the resulting bright spot in the field of view. We test the stability of the cen...

In this paper, a procedure for analyzing and designing of tunable wideband band-pass and band-stop graphene based filters in the terahertz band is proposed. These planar wideband plasmonic filters are unique in their kind. With this procedure, it is possible to design filters with the desired functional characteristics in the form of the similar quarter-wavelength resonance stubs. The discontin...
