| Abstract/Description: | Bell Laboratories scientist Donald R. Herriott observes rings produced by alternate interference and transmission of helium-neo laser light through a thin, solid Fabry-Perot filter. This is a technique for measuring filter characteristics. Light spreads conically from the laser; its path length through the filter depends on incident angle. When path length equals and integral number of half-wavelengths, a bright ring is projected. Transmission can be 50-90 percent in brightest part of ring. | |
