Abstract

Using H-alpha etalon-based solar filter as an example, we address the issues of practical realization of etalon-based filters used for solar astronomy and other related applications. The design rationale as well as the choice among two conventional formats of etalons is described, depending on the requirements on the devised solar filter.
