stable multipass Fabry-Perot interferometer
A plane-parallel interferometer that yields extremely high contrast over a wide range of finesse values without significantly reducing transmission.
finesse
For a Fabry-Perot interferometer or etalon, a value for the transmission bandwidth which can be calculated as the ratio of...
Haidinger fringes
Also known as constant angle or constant deviation fringes. The interference fringes observed with dense flat plates near...

The spectroscopic analysis of interference patterns using an electronic imaging tube with a Fabry-Perot interferometer to...
Fabry-Perot laser
A laser oscillator in which two mirrors are separated by an amplifying medium with an inverted population, making a...
Fabry-Perot spectroscopy
The spectroscopic analysis of interference patterns using a monochannel spectrometer, spectrograph or multichannel...
echelle
A grating that serves to provide higher resolution and dispersion than the average grating, and still has a greater free...
Lummer-Gehrcke plate
A high-resolution spectroscopic device commonly used in the early 20th century as a component of double-beam...
Fabry-Perot fringes
