The main objective of the IBIS modeling activities is the generation of the IBIS spectral response matrix. This generation will be done step by step by firstly constructing "calibrated model" of each IBIS sub-systems. A "calibrated model"…

Fabry-P\'erot interferometers (FPIs) have become very popular in solar observations because they offer a balance between cadence, spatial resolution, and spectral resolution through a careful design of the spectral sampling scheme according…
