Consider the interference pattern of the Michelson Interferometer as arising from two beams of equal flux density.

Question:

Consider the interference pattern of the Michelson Interferometer as arising from two beams of equal flux density. Using Eq. (9.17), compute the half-width. What is the separation, in δ, between adjacent maxima? What then is the finesse?

I = 21o(1 + cos 8) = 4lo 410 cos“ 2 (9.17) 2
