Analytical Study of the Birefringent Filter Photometer Used for Airglow

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The transmission of the birefringent filter is derived, and it is shown that the addition of a second rotating Polaroid to the conventional birefringent filter enables one to calibrate the birefringent photometer using a continuous source. The introduction of the second rotating Polaroid allows one to measure separately the line emission and the continuum in a spectral region where a single line is superimposed on a continuous background.
