Here's a summary of the origin of the throughput data for NICMOS that was delivered to CDBS back in February: Filters (including polarizers): Manufacturer's pre-fabrication specs received from Ball Aerospace, Dec. 1994. Grisms: No data available at this time; filled with 1's for now. Detector DQE's: Data received from Rodger Thompson (NICMOS PI; Univ. of Arizona) in January 1995 that was measured in the lab for 3 candidate flight detectors. Mirrors and dewar windows: No measured data available at this time. Wavelength-independent values of 0.90 and 0.95 used for now, taken from Rodger Thompson's "Scientist's Guide to NICMOS", Table 2.
