 | The content of Dichroic filter was merged into Interference filter on 18 November 2023. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. For the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |
Small Angles
[edit]Changed the formula on the page to its full form including a sin(theta) as the small angle approximation made for angles <20 degrees before wasn't valid. Oct 23, 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.107.87 (talk) 12:23, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Merge?
[edit]Are there any non-thin film interference filters? If not, it seems like these should be merged into or as a section of Thin-film interference. Dspark76 (talk) 18:24, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- The name "interference filter" is the technical name of a specific scientific apparatus that happens to use interference to accomplish filtering. The term shows up in articles published in scientific journals of all sorts, describing some experimental setup. A "stealth fighter aircraft" is also uses thin-film interference (at radar wavelengths) to provide stealth capability, but you would not propose merging that article into thin-film, would you? I'd recommend no merge. 67.198.37.16 (talk) 16:00, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
- Might make sense to merge into dichroic filter, though, although dichroic filter seems to cover broader uses than optical benches. 67.198.37.16 (talk) 16:14, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
