Results of WFC3 Thermal Vacuum
Abstract
The throughput measurements for the WFC3 IR channel, taken during the Fall 2004 thermal-vacuum test, show that the IR throughput is approximately 15% lower than expected at all wavelengths. These measurements were obtained through all of the IR filters, scanning a monochromatic source through the central wavelengths of each filter, from 930 to 1670 nm. The source of this discrepancy is under investigation.
