Interactive table to predict signal and purity for any filter/detector combination

Using the following form, you can create a table which summarizes the LYRA throughput for solar maximum and minimum for any possible filter and detector combination, and the purity (ratio of signal in interesting wavelength range to total signal, ideally close to 100%).

Based on the values in these tables, a decision has been made as to what filters and detectors will be installed on LYRA. Ideally, the chosen configuration should have high purity values and a high output signal. Simulations also involve Silicon based detectors to demonstrate the advantages of diamond based detectors in terms of purity, even when multiple combinations of filters (like two Lyα or two Herzberg filters) are considered.

To view the data, follow these instructions:

Step 1: Choose at least one filter from the following table
Note: Zirconium appears twice but with different thicknesses (150 & 300nm)

select filter name purity definition
currently considered filters for LYRA:
Zirconium (150nm) in spectral range from 1. to 20. nm
Aluminium in spectral range from 17. to 80. nm
Lyα 122 XN spectral line Lyα_121.5 at 121.5 nm, width 2.5
Herzberg in spectral range from 200. to 220. nm
Zr (300nm) in spectral range from 1. to 20. nm
previously considered, but now discarded filters or filter combinations for LYRA:
Lyα N + XN spectral line Lyα_121.5 at 121.5 nm, width 2.5
Lyα XN * 2 spectral line Lyα_121.5 at 121.5 nm, width 2.5
Lyα VN * XN spectral line Lyα_121.5 at 121.5 nm, width 2.5
Lyα 122 N spectral line Lyα_121.5 at 121.5 nm, width 2.5
Lyα N * 2 spectral line Lyα_121.5 at 121.5 nm, width 2.5
Lyα Acton VN spectral line Lyα_121.5 at 121.5 nm, width 2.5
open (= no filter) in spectral range from 1. to 180. nm
PF2 in spectral range from 1. to 100. nm

Step 2: Choose at least one detector from the following table

select detector filename
MSM11TOTAL.DAT
MSM12Radio.DAT
MSM15TOTAL.DAT
MSM19TOTAL.DAT
MSM21Radio.DAT
PIN8TOTAL.DAT
PIN10Radio.DAT
PIN11TOTAL.DAT
PIN12TOTAL.DAT
AXUVTOTALresponse.DAT

AlNideal.DAT
detectorsGaN.DAT
detectors180nm.DAT
AlN200nmUS.DAT
A8591MSMH.DAT
A9054AMSMF.DAT

Step 3: Choose solar spectrum to test on

Step 4: Add statistics for 'good' MSM detectors

do include do not include statistics on 'good' MSM detectors.
'Good' MSM detectors are: MSM11TOTAL.DAT, MSM12Radio.DAT, MSM15TOTAL.DAT, MSM19TOTAL.DAT, MSM21Radio.DAT,
