    13991399Some images contain a signal caused by thin-film interference in the
    14001400device due to strong emission lines.  The resulting instrumental
    1401 effect consists of a pattern (the fringe pattern) of bright and dark
    1402 bands corresponding to the constructive and destructive interference
    1403 of the emission lines.  In the case that a single emission line causes
    1404 the line structure, the resulting pattern can be described by two
    1405 independent parameters: First, the amplitude of the emission line
    1406 determines the overall amplitude of the pattern.  Second, the
    1407 three-dimensional surface structure of the device determines the shape
    1408 of the pattern.  In a typical situation, the device is not only
    1409 illuminated by the emission line (or lines), but also by a continuum
    1410 spectral source, which contributes to the overall light detected by
    1411 the device without following the fringe pattern.  The relative
    1412 intensities of the continuum background and the fringe pattern depend
    1413 on the device structure (thickness) and on the ratio of the continuum
    1414 and line emission fluxes.
     1401effect consists of a pattern (the ``fringe pattern'') of bright and
     1402dark bands corresponding to the constructive and destructive
     1403interference of the emission lines.  In the case that a single
     1404emission line causes the line structure, the resulting pattern can be
     1405described by two independent parameters: First, the amplitude of the
     1406emission line determines the overall amplitude of the pattern.
     1407Second, the three-dimensional surface structure of the device
     1408determines the shape of the pattern.  In a typical situation, the
     1409device is illuminated by multiple emission lines, as well as a
     1410continuum spectral source, which contributes to the overall light
     1411detected by the device without following the fringe pattern.  The
     1412relative intensities of the continuum background and the fringe
     1413pattern depend on the device structure (thickness) and on the ratio of
     1414the continuum and line emission fluxes.

    14161416A simple approach to the fringe pattern is to subtract a master fringe
     
    14951495M^{\rm pred}_{i,j} = G_j + S_i
    14961496\]
    1497 where $M^{\rm pred}_{i,j} = \log \mbox{flux}^{\rm pred}_{i,j}$, $G_j =
    1498 \log \mbox{gain}_j$, and $\log \mbox{source}_i = S_i$.  We can then
    1499 write the chi-square which we want to minimize as:
     1497where $M^{\rm pred}_{i,j} = \log (\mbox{flux}^{\rm pred}_{i,j})$, $G_j
     1498= \log (\mbox{gain}_j)$, and $S_i = \log (\mbox{source}_i)$.  We can
     1499then write the chi-square which we want to minimize as:
    15001500\[
    15011501\chi^2 = \sum_{i,j} (M^{\rm obs}_{i,j} - G_j - S_i)^2
