This high-precision spectrometer is used to examine the fine structure of the spectral characteristics of continuous-wave lasers. The spectrometer is based on a confocal Fabry-Perot (F-P) cavity, which contains two high-reflectivity mirrors. By using a piezoelectric transducer to change the spacing between the mirrors, the cavity can act as an extremely narrow bandpass filter. After measuring the free spectral range (FSR) of the confocal cavity, the time base of an oscilloscope can be calibrated to enable quantitative measurement of the laser line shape. According to the design of the confocal cavity, the distance d between the mirrors is equal to the radius R, allowing the laser beam to be easily aligned. This series of models is compatible with Thorlabs Piezo drivers.

● Adjustable Scanning Range: The cavity length is adjusted by a piezoelectric ceramic, which enables the scanning of different wavelengths within a certain range. This adjustability allows it to be flexibly applied to various spectral analysis scenarios.
● Compact Design and Stability: It features a compact design for easy integration and use. Its physical structure has been optimized to achieve good mechanical stability and resistance to temperature drift interference.
● High - Reflectivity Mirrors: The mirrors have high reflectivity to enhance the interference effect. The reflectivity of these mirrors is usually above 99%, which improves the resolution and sensitivity.
● High Resolution: It can achieve a relatively high spectral resolution, much higher than that of ordinary spectrometers.
● Versatility: The scanning Fabry - Perot interferometer can be used in a variety of application scenarios, including laser frequency stabilization, gas spectral analysis, astronomical observation, material property measurement, and so on.

Response Time
Transmitted PD signal using 780nm laser sweep. Note that no careful mode matching was performed, so the peak spacing is about 1.5GHz.
The peak a was fitted and the peak position and width were found to be 0.059 and 0.147 respectively.
The peak b was fitted and the peak position and width were 28.97 and 0.134 respectively.
The overall result shows that the fineness at 1063nm is about 205.8 and the resolution is 1500/205.8~7.3 MHz.
