Scientific paper

RG830 and IR80 will be used as the optical blocking glass in the WFC3/IR channel to ensure that short-wavelength (optical) light does not reach the detector. This is necessary because the substrate-removed detector will be sensitive to wavelengths below 0.8 μm. This ISR gives the expected transmission of these glasses. It also gives the maximum expected ratio of light leaking through at optical wavelengths for infrared narrow-band filters in the case that those filters provide no blocking of their own.
