Characterization of aerogel scattering filters for astronomical telescopes
Alyssa Barlis, Stefan Arseneau, Charles L. Bennett +8
We have developed a suite of novel infrared-blocking filters made by embedding scattering particles in a polymer aerogel substrate. Our developments allow us to tune the spectral p…
