A new quasi-optical filter: the reflective polarizing interferometer

  • Published:
International Journal of Infrared and Millimeter Waves Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Conclusions

A new type of optical filter element has been described and tested, offering an alternative frequency response to that of a Fabry-Perot or Michelson interferometer. It is quite compact, mechanically stable, and suitable for cryogenic operation. Use of this device is planned as a sideband filter in a 15 element imaging array receiver for 90–115 GHz.
