This page contains representative profiles for CVF #1, computed for the three available plate scales in NSFCAM. The passband is broadened for the two smaller scales since the size of the pupil image on the filter is larger. At the smallest plate scale, the 4 mm pupil diameter essentially fixes the wavelength resolution at about 0.037 microns for any wavelength.

profilesThese profiles were computed from a microdensitometer scan at 2.0 microns with the filter cold, and from the manufacturer's profiles at several wavelengths. They should be regarded as a guide--these are not measured profiles.
