Solc Birefringent Filter

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A new birefringent filter composed of a series of retardation plates between a single pair of polarizers has been described by Solc. The filter is analyzed and compared with the Lyot filter. It is found that the Solc filter is inferior to the Lyot filter in the suppression of parasitic light in secondary maxima near the primary transmission bands, although its band width is slightly less, and its transparency is very much better if both filters use Polaroid film for polarizers.
