Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of filters, in particular to a tunable optical filter device.
- the Fabry-Perot interference filter is composed of two flat plates placed in parallel. In order to improve the reflectivity of the end face, a multilayer dielectric film or a metal film is plated on the two flat plates. If the interval between two parallel planes is fixed (usually using quartz or Invar as the interval), the instrument becomes an F-P etalon; if the interval between the two parallel planes can be changed, the instrument becomes an F-P interferometer. Compared with the Michelson interferometer, the F-P interferometer based on multi-beam interference produces much sharper fringes. Therefore Fabry-Perot cavity (Fabry-Perot cavity) has been widely used in spectral fine structure analysis, laser resonant cavity, optical filter and so on.
- Fabry-Perot cavity Fabry-Perot cavity
