Studies of effects on optical components and sensors: LDEF experiments AO-147 (ERB components) and S-0014 (APEX)

摘要

Some additional results of testing of optical filters and window materials and thermopile sensors of the two experiments are included. The Advanced Photovoltaic Experiment (APEX) interference filters exhibited much greater degradation in space than the ERB filters. The adhesion of the Indium washers to the APEX interference filters is reported.
