FGS Filters
The filter wheel preceding the dielectric beam splitter in each FGS contains five 42mm
diameter slots. Four of these slots house filters-F550W, F583W, F605W and F5ND-while the
fifth slot houses the PUPIL stop. This stop helps restore the S-Curve morphology throughout
the FOV of each FGS by blocking out the outer 1/3 perimeter of the spherically aberrated
primary mirror. The filter selection for each FGS, their central wavelengths, and widths
are listed in the table below. The transmission curves (filters and PUPIL) and PMT
efficiencies are given in the figures below.
