Simple nonpolarizing high pass filter

Abstract

Nonpolarizing edge filters have recently becmoe important to separate those IR gas bands used in atmospheric sensing into their P and R branches, namely, the v2 of C02 at a 15µm wavelength. Whereas Thelen has developed all necessary principles for the entire class of nonpolarizing filters it remains difficult to subsittute ither refractive indices (such as infrared) into a visible-region design or assess the effect on consequent performance
