Free Spectral Range of Etalon Formula Elements

Variables
Free Spectral Range Wavelength
Free Spectral Range Wavelength or FSR is the distance between adjacent peaks in the optical wave.
Symbol: FSR
Measurement: LengthUnit: pm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Wavelength of Light
Wavelength of Light refers to the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of an electromagnetic wave in the optical spectrum.

How to Evaluate Free Spectral Range of Etalon?

Free Spectral Range of Etalon evaluator uses Free Spectral Range Wavelength = Wavelength of Light^2/(2*Refractive Index of Core*Slab Thickness) to evaluate 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.
