Notes:
The filter effective wavelengths are derived from the measured delivered filter transmission curves, using the formalism described by Schneider, Gunn, & Hoessel 1983, ApJ, 264, 337. The effective widths are computed in the usual way (i.e., the width of an ideal square-profile filter with the same peak transmission and effective area of the detailed transmission curve). Note that the "effective" width is more representative of the filter bandwidth than the FWHM."Raw Tx" is the raw transmission curve of the filter measured in parallel light by the filter vendor. Scale is 0 (opaque) to 1 (perfect).
