Abstract

We have made a narrow band tunable filter for solar observations using a Lithium Niobate Fabry-Perot etalon. The 60 mm aperture etalon with a free spectral range of 4.22 A and finesse of 26 at λ = 6122 A has been procured from CSIRO, Australia. The wavelength tuning is achieved by applying high voltage to the etalon substrate at the rate of 0.45 A per 1000 Volts. The filter is being used for imaging the sun in Hα line and obtaining Doppler- and Magnetogram in CaI 6122 A line. In this paper, we present some initial observations carried out with this filter at Udaipur Solar Observatory.
