Fabry-Perot Spectral Analysis Simulation using LabVIEW and Finesse, Lab Reports of Optics

Information about using labview and finesse software for fabry-perot spectral analysis. It covers the spectral range, peak separation, and spacing of the software. Note that the document also explains the concept of free spectral range and total path length.

LAB VIEW FABRY PEROT SIMULATION by Dr. David Pengra

This program is available on the Mac in the lab. ~1 cm spacing 14.2 GHz free spectral range ~4 cm spacing 3.9 GHz free spectral range Finesse 22 permits separation of peaks that are .64 GHz apart

~12 cm spacing 1.25 GHz free spectral range Note that it is no longer possible to know if the less intense second peak is above or below the more intense peak ~25 cm spacing Free spectral range in wavelength for a given spacing is defined as the wavelength difference between two peaks of λ 1 and λ 2 such that (m+1) λ 1 =m λ 2. Note that m=797415 in this example, which gives total path length for one pass of 50. cm.
