Fabry–Pérot interferometers are available in many forms, for example for applications in spectroscopy. They are used to measure the spectral properties of light by exploiting multiple beam interference.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

As the most professional photonics purchasing portal, RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers (not limited to our advertisers), but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

Purchasing involves a lot of responsibility. We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

Our article on best practices for purchasing and another one explaining this tool give you valuable insights.

1. Understand the technical background

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

Use the comprehensive learning resources of RP Photonics:

2. Define your requirements

It is essential to fully understand and clearly define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that you develop a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs, against which you can later check the suitability of found product offers:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying Fabry–Pérot interferometers. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

This list is for your own preparation, and can later (possibly in modified form) be used for quotation requests to suppliers.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you cannot sufficiently clarify your requirements, you may want to get technical consultancy from RP Photonics.

You find these buttons in the supplier list below or under "3. Find suitable suppliers".

3. Find suitable suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for Fabry–Pérot interferometers. Use the checkboxes to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then indicate which specifications they meet according to your research. (You should finalize your specifications before doing this.)
  • Based on the results, you can finally choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.

Fabry–Pérot interferometers

The Fabry–Pérot interferometers offered by ALPHALAS are high-resolution spectroscopic instruments having applications in spectral analysis of narrowband light sources like gas discharge lamps and lasers. These are especially useful for analyzing the spectral content of pulsed lasers, because they allow for single-shot measurements.

The interferometers consist of two high-precision mirrors with a flatness better than λ/40 over 90% of the aperture, having broadband coatings and spacers of different thickness. The working aperture is either 22 mm or 48 mm, and the reflectivity finesse is > 120. The standard spectral range is 450 nm … 1100 nm, others on request. Combined with our CCD linear array, the interferometers form a versatile spectral analysis system.
