How to Evaluate Finesse of Etalon?

Finesse of Etalon evaluator uses Finesse = (pi*sqrt(Reflectivity))/(1-Reflectivity) to evaluate 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 F_opt symbol.
