Herschel Modification

Post by _RA_ »

Does anyone have any numbers on the percentage flux difference between the optical port and the light-dump sides of the prism?

Specifically, I'm pondering what might be involved in straight-through setup, where the optical is inline and the light-dump is orthogonal. Is this doable, and what sort of filtration would be required?

Just musing aloud for a potential future project.

Thanks!
