The transmission curve of the etalon is a textbook Lorentzian.





Test of the etalon with the Ha lamp in diffuse light

Optical setup: Ha lamp => diffuser => etalon => Nikon Z7II with 85 mmS f/1.8 lens


Interference fringe pattern

Lunt LS40FHa - Interference fringe pattern - Nikon Z7II - 85 mm S f/1.8 Nikkor lens at f/2.0 (i.e. 40 mm aperture) - 12-bit RAW file - 0.25 s - 100 ISO - 17 January 2025

Comments:

- The interference patern is quite uniform with a nice Lorentzian profile for the rings.
- The mesurements from the different rings are very consistent.
