Fabry-Perot interferometer FFP-I, picoWave®

The Micron Optics FFP-I, Fiber Fabry-Perot Interferometer family of products is based on a fixed interferometer design with smooth, uniformly spaced transmission peaks. The FFP-I consists of a lensless plane Fabry-Perot Interferometer with a single-mode optical fiber waveguide between two highly reflective multilayer mirrors. The FFP-I is manufactured directly with optical fibers so no alignment or mode-matching is required. The distances between peaks (FSR) may be designed exactly to customer specifications and a TEC package is available for thermal stability and minor adjustments of the bandpass frequency or wavelength. The picoWave® is Micron Optics patented multi-wavelength reference that enables real time wavelength calibration to picometer accuracy. Combining the uniform frequency spacing of the FFP-I, a wavelength marker of a Fiber Bragg Grating, and a built-in TEC for thermal stability, the picoWave® makes an ideal calibrated wavelength reference. The FFP-I and FBG can be configured in Series or in Parallel (see diagrams below).
