How to Calculate Free Spectral Range of Etalon?
Free Spectral Range of Etalon calculator uses Free Spectral Range Wavelength = Wavelength of Light^2/(2*Refractive Index of Core*Slab Thickness) to calculate the Free Spectral Range Wavelength, Free Spectral Range of Etalon in fiber optics is the spacing in optical frequency or wavelength between two successive reflected or transmitted optical intensity maxima or minima of an interferometer or diffractive optical element. The Free Spectral Range of an optical resonator (cavity) is the spacing of its axial (Gaussian-shaped) resonator modes in terms of optical frequency. Free Spectral Range Wavelength is denoted by FSR symbol.
How to calculate Free Spectral Range of Etalon using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Free Spectral Range of Etalon, enter Wavelength of Light (λ), Refractive Index of Core (ηcore) & Slab Thickness (x) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Free Spectral Range of Etalon calculation can be explained with given input values -> 5.6E+11 = 1.55E-06^2/(2*1.335*1.6).
