Notes. The first column corresponds to an FPI system with a low-resolution etalon that has high reflectivity, and the second column to a system with a low-reflectivity low-resolution etalon; all other input parameters are identical for the two systems. The system with low reflectivity for the low-resolution etalon demonstrates superior performance compared to the other system. Calculations are made with input parameters for CRISP2, which are very close to those of the EST-V FPI system.
