Spectroscopic Imaging of the Sun from the Visible to the Extreme Ultraviolet
Alan Title Lockheed-Martin Advanced Technology Center and Stanford University
Ultra-narrow-band tunable filters allow imaging of the Sun in bandpasses
sufficiently narrow to isolate individual spectral lines and to
determine their profiles. Now in orbit are filters with bandpasses
of resolution 50,000-100,000 and in development is a filter of resolution
100,000 that will tune with milliangstrom precision over the
spectral range from 5000A to 6800A.
Normal incidence mirror technology in the extreme UV allows resolutions
of 10 to 100 from about 100A to 300A. Examples will be shown of the devices that
accomplish this and results obtained to date with them.
