Linearly variable filters, also called wedge filters are special optical interference filters with a shift of the spectral characteristics along one axis of the filter. A wedge-filter spectrometer 1 comprises means 10 for spectrally dispersing an incident radiation beam comprising a first plurality of layers of high (H) index of refraction material and a second plurality of layers of low (L) index of refraction material, individual ones of the H and the L layers. LESIA (Laboratoire d'Etudes Spatiales et d'Instrumentation en Astrophysique, Observatoire de Paris-Meudon) has an extensive experience in visible and infrared imaging spectrometry with several instruments onboard planetary space missions (MarsExpress/OMEGA, VenusExpress/VIRTIS, Rosetta/VIRTIS).
Rotational arcs covering less than 360° are frequently used in order to spare critical structures in radiation therapy; however, this results in a lack of dose uniformity in the target volume. Wedge filters
Circular prisms having plane surfaces positioned at slight angles with respect to each other are termed optical wedges, and deflect light by refraction rather than
The wedge wire screen is a metal mesh element widely used in screening, filtration, dehydration, and declining operations for sieving and filtration.

The characteristics of the reflecting spectrum are greatly influenced not only by the incident angle, but also by the wedge angle parameter of the non-paralleled wedge thin film filter.
Background and purpose: To describe a wedge filter optimization technique which automatically chooses the beam weights and wedge filters and to demonstrate the implementation of
To assist in obtaining uniform irradiation throughout the treated volume, techniques have been developed using wedge filters, i.e., non-uniform (metal) filters whose thickness varies in one direction
These filters are used as monochromators of medium spectral resolution in radiometric and spectroradiometric instrumentation for spectroscopic and remote sensing applications in the
A LVF is a narrow-band transmission filter with a peak wavelength varying linearly along one dimension of the filter. Coupled to an array detector, it forms a simple and compact imaging spectrometer as

5. Wrap them after trimming the edge of the filter opposite the wedge. We have found that each thickness of blotting paper prepared in the above manner compensated for 2 kv. in the diagnostic range.
A wide range of wedge angles smaller than the nominal wedge angle can be obtained with a single wedge filter by irradiating partly with, and partly without, the wedge filter inserted in the
This working principle is illustrated in Figure 1. The LVF component can be compared to a scanning Fabry-Perot interferometer that scans with position

Here we report a solid immersion grating microspectrometer with wedge prism correction (SIG-W-µSPEC), which realizes both high spectral resolution and a highly compact structure across
A wedge filter is an optical filter so constructed that its thickness varies continuously or in steps in the shape of a wedge. The filter is used to modify the intensity distribution in a radiation beam.

The most common form of compensator is the wedge filter. These wedges are normally constructed of brass, steel, or lead. When placed in the beam, they cause the isodose curves to be angled relative
The development of the planetary exploration for landers makes it more and more necessary to have at our disposal small and light instruments. This is why we are developing in our laboratory a light
In external beam radiation therapy, wedge filters are used to tilt the isodose lines of megavoltage roentgen ray beams over the so called wedge iso- dose angle in order to homogenize the dose
