2 unusual facts about Fabry–Pérot interferometer


Resonances in scattering from potentials

The physics is similar to that of transmission in Fabry–Pérot interferometer in optics, where the resonance condition and functional form of Transmission co-efficient are the same.

Wrapped Cauchy distribution

The wrapped Cauchy distribution is often found in the field of spectroscopy where it is used to analyze diffraction patterns (e.g. see Fabry–Pérot interferometer)
