I've been reviewing this article, and have determined that it meets the qualifications for GA status. It is well written, well referenced, and has some very useful infographics. It is a highly technical article about a technical topic, but the author(s) have made a good attempt to clarify terms, and avoid jargon. I've got a few small suggestions for further improvement, beyond continued attempts to expand the article.
Keep up the good work. This is an impressive bit of single-editor effort! If you have any questions about my rationale for promotion, don't hesistate to leave me a message. Phidauex 16:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 18mm, use 18 mm, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 18 mm.

There is an atrocious quadruple-"filter" in the first sentence that comes off so puerile, no? And on the front page! 172.162.185.52 07:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
No special physics background here, but (a) ALFs are cool, and (b) the sections that immediately made the most sense to me were Types, Common components, and Applications (especially LIDAR). A common guy like me needs a clear description of how an ALF works (like the descriptions in Types) before I can understand the historical context or what the special properties of ALFs mean.
Here are more specific ideas that I don't yet know enough to do myself:
Obviously it's one thing for me to talk a good talk and another thing for someone to be bold in editing pages. Just hope some of this is helpful. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.119.192.12 ( talk • contribs).
they may be used for analyzing the earth's thermal libido,
I think this should be albedo. (Presumably an error rather than vandalism as it was posted by the article's main editor: diff.) I tried to look at the Gelbwachs 1988 source to check this, but it requires a subscription. - QuantumEngineer 17:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry-ignore previous comment. Actually, this source refers to filtering out the earth's thermal radiation, not analyzing it. Article now corrected.- QuantumEngineer 13:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Editing Atomic line filter, you recently replaced all of the patents in the Harvard style with simple links to the patent. You said that Harvard style was "not appropriate" for this application. While I in part agree, I do think that keeping one consistent referencing style is important the article as a whole. Under its current revision (your version), the Harvnb template links in the References section don't work consistently, for instance. And I can't see anything really wrong with calling the author of a patent its "author"; for the sake of internal consistency and simplicity, I feel that your edit should be undone. What say you? -- Rmrfstar 23:55, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Just went through Harvard NB references to correct non-working double links (which strikes me as being a silly way to reference, by the way). Sadly, the submit button failed, so I'll have to do it again another time.
Noticed while doing this that several of the Harvard NB links weren't working even before my edit, showing how fragile such double links can be. I recommend removing all of them. GDallimore 14:18, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

As part of an effort to check all old featured articles, I'm checking the current article against the FA criteria. The article seems to be largely based on pre-2005 sources, and I cannot imagine that development stopped since. There are some uncited paragraphs, WP:sandwiching, potential violation of WP:PRICE, and the first sentence has only half of a comparison (more effective than what?). If this article cannot be improved via talk, it will likely be submitted to WP:featured article review. FemkeMilene ( talk) 09:47, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
