Understanding and Utilizing Angle of Incidence
The AOI can be a tricky angle to work with, especially when you're hoping to receive a clear spectral response. Understanding the Angle of Incidence (AOI) and it's many cohorts - the angle of reflection, angle of refraction, etc. - is an important first step in the filter-buying process. In the blog post, we'll cover the foundational knowledge you'll need to know when dealing with AOI and also dive into why AOI and 1/2 cone filters matter for interference filters especially.The AOI can be a tricky angle to work with, especially when you're hoping to receive a clear spectral response.
