Abstract
A solar filter assembly combines a high-precision Fabry-Perot etalon with a variety of conditioning filters judiciously selected to effectively block completely all radiation except for the spectral line of interest. In addition, a tuning mechanism is provided to precisely control the peak frequency of the filter's output by varying the optical length of the etalon's cavity.
