Fabry-Perot interferometer FFP-SI

The Micron Optics FFP-SI Fiber Fabry-Perot Scanning Interferometer is a lensless, plane Fabry-Perot interferometer with a single-mode fiber waveguide between two highly reflective multi-layer mirrors that are deposited directly onto optical fibers. The cavity consists entirely of fiber waveguide, permitting an extremely wide range of possible Free Spectral Ranges (FSRs), and no alignment or mode-matching is required. Wavelength scanning is achieved by axially straining a short section of fiber inside the cavity using a stacked piezoelectric actuator. Scanning frequencies to 100 Hz and higher can provide direct measurement of transient optical phenomenon such as laser chirp and jitter. Stable and repeatable scanning over longer periods of time can provide direct measurement of slowly varying optical phenomenon such as laser drift.
