in F.P. interferometer, the sharpness of fringes increases as reflectivity R ____
Answers
In optics, a Fabry–Pérot interferometer (FPI) or etalon is an optical cavity made from two parallel reflecting surfaces (i.e.: thin mirrors). Optical waves can pass through the optical cavity only when they are in resonance with it. It is named after Charles Fabry and Alfred Perot, who developed the instrument in 1899.[1][2][3] Etalon is from the French étalon, meaning "measuring gauge" or "standard".[4]
Interference fringes, showing fine structure, from a Fabry–Pérot etalon. The source is a cooled deuterium lamp.
Etalons are widely used in telecommunications, lasers and spectroscopy to control and measure the wavelengths of light. Recent advances in fabrication technique allow the creation of very precise tunable Fabry–Pérot interferometers. The device is called an interferometer when the distance between the two surfaces (and with it the resonance length) can be changed, and an etalon when the distance is fixed (however, the two terms are often used interchangeably)
