What is the significance of finesse?

Finesse is fully determined by the resonator losses and is independent of the resonator length. It can be specified not only for Fabry–Pérot interferometers, but also for other types of optical resonators, and is often used in the context of resonators with sharp resonances, as used e.g. in optical frequency standards. Etalon is also known as Fabry-Perot Interferometer and Thin-Film Resonant Cavity Filter

How to Calculate Finesse of Etalon?

Finesse of Etalon calculator uses Finesse = (pi*sqrt(Reflectivity))/(1-Reflectivity) to calculate the Finesse, The finesse of Etalon is a measure of how narrow the resonances are in relation to their frequency distance1. A high finesse means sharp resonance. It is defined as the free spectral range (i.e., the fundamental mode spacing) divided by the full width at the half-maximum (FWHM) bandwidth of the resonances. Finesse is denoted by Fopt symbol.

How to calculate Finesse of Etalon using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Finesse of Etalon, enter Reflectivity (ρ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Finesse of Etalon calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.618335 = (pi*sqrt(0.035))/(1-0.035).

FAQ

What is Finesse of Etalon?
The finesse of Etalon is a measure of how narrow the resonances are in relation to their frequency distance1. A high finesse means sharp resonance. It is defined as the free spectral range (i.e., the fundamental mode spacing) divided by the full width at the half-maximum (FWHM) bandwidth of the resonances and is represented as Fopt = (pi*sqrt(ρ))/(1-ρ) or Finesse = (pi*sqrt(Reflectivity))/(1-Reflectivity). Reflectivity is a measure of the effectiveness of a surface or material in reflecting radiant energy.
