Fabry-Pérot and Mach-Zehnder
The Fabry-Pérot and Mach-Zehnder interferometers are precision instruments used for analyzing interference phenomena in optics.
> The Fabry-Pérot interferometer consists of two closely spaced semi-reflective mirrors, forming a resonant cavity that multiplies light reflections. It is particularly suited for high-resolution spectroscopy, laser wavelength studies, and optical telecommunications applications.
> The Mach-Zehnder interferometer, on the other hand, splits a light beam into two distinct paths before recombining them. It is used for phase variation analysis, refractive index measurements, and beam control in experimental and industrial environments.
