IR cut filter and infrared photography

the proper name is NIR cutoff or blocking filter

first optical LPF(LPF1) is anti-aliasing filter ( to reduce Moire effect) ( can be 2 glasses) and where dust removal piezo is attached to

IR cut filter or ICF( sometimes called LPF2) is the filter to be replaced for IR conversion

types of IR cut filters: transmissive (left) and reflective (right). The transmissive type is also commonly called blue glass.

The top 2 photo is taken directly over the filters, and bottom photo taken slightly slanted

common ICF are BG38 ( QB21) and BG39 (QB39)

Schott BG18 spec S8612

BG40 and some others

in order to do infrared photography, it is needed to replace this IR cut filter with a IR band pass filter:

Eg GG420(JB420) 420nm to >2500nm or BCF700 400 to 710 nm

colour doped filter (old) vs sputtered interfering filter:

The transition from blocking of light to transmission of light is lazy with colored glass. Transmission (T) and Optical Density (blocking level, known as OD) plots reveal a very shallow transition slope. For example, RG630, a common red glass from Schott glass, requires approx. 70nm of spectral wavelength range to go from OD4 to 90%T! That’s a long transition, reducing the precision of the desired contrast. This same filter also requires 40-45nm of spectral range to go from 2%T to 90%T.

Interference filters consist of thin films of material coated onto various clear glasses. An optical coating engineer can build a particular coating using an almost endless number of different combinations of alternating layers of materials with low and high indices of refraction.

Typical materials used in sputtered interference coatings include oxides of metals with very high melting points and silicon dioxide. Metallic salts (zinc sulfide, yttrium chloride etc.) are used along with silicon dioxide in thermal resistive interference coating methods (“soft-coated” filters). Coatings are often referred to as dielectric coatings, but sputtered and electron-beam coatings can also include conductive metal layers (aluminum, silver, etc.).

CMOS sensor trends and astrophotography, from amateur astronomers perspective

Nowadays, even in low light conditions, digital camera can quality pictures with higher ISO, noise and hot pixels have been gradually reduced. Sony has introduced back illumination process for consumer market. Sony BSI sensors evolved from Exmor to now Exmor RS( stacked) technology. This stacked technology allows further chip size reduction, which has strong demands in smartphone camera market. Digital astrophotography is also benefited from such advances, utilising Back Side Illumination technology Exmor: Within the CMOS sensor, it outputs low-noise digital signals by "on-chip column AD conversion" and "dual noise reduction" to suppress noise in the first half of the process In low light conditions, when a wide aperture is desirable to collect as much light as possible. At apertures wider than f/2.0, back-illuminated Exmor R sensors are significantly more efficient at collecting light than conventional, front-illuminated sensor...

ultrafast rendezvous to ISS

14 Oct 2020, being the first to use a new “ultrafast” rendezvous” scheme with the ISS. Following a flawless ascent to the correct orbit, Soyuz 2 .1a , Soyuz MS-17 caught up with the orbiting laboratory in only two orbits (three hours), halving the time it takes for crew to get to the Station. The three space travelers of the Soyuz MS-17 mission launched on a six-month mission the International Space Station. previous 3/4 orbit rendezvous: Soyuz MS-16 4 orbit rendezvous A three-orbit profile was deemed possible without major flight design changes after inauguration of the Soyuz 2-1A rocket that provides a much higher orbit injection accuracy than its predecessors and would allow the two correction maneuvers on Orbit #2 to be eliminated while the Automated Rendezvous Phase would still remain untouched. The deletion of the Orbit #2 maneuvers was expected to slightly tighten the already restrictive phase angle window from and upper limit of 30-35° to 25-28°...
