Finesse (English spelling)

Japanese: フィネス(英語表記)finesse
Finesse (English spelling)
A Fabry-Perot interferometer is used to investigate the hyperfine structure and contours of spectral lines. The interferometer consists of two semi-transparent mirrors with high reflectivity, facing each other in parallel with their reflective surfaces on the inside. When irradiated with light from a divergent light source, sharp concentric interference fringes are created by repeated reflection interference. The quantity that expresses the sharpness of these interference fringes is called finesse, and is an important quantity that expresses the characteristics of a Fabry-Perot interferometer. The interval between bright fringes (peaks) is expressed as a phase difference of 2π, and if the half-width of the fringes is ε, then the finesse is given by:

スペクトル線の超微細構造やスペクトル線の輪郭を調べるのに,ファブリー=ペロー干渉計が用いられる。干渉計は,高反射率をもつ2枚の半透明鏡を,反射面を内側にして平行に向かい合わせてある。広がりのある光源からの光で照射すると,繰返しの反射干渉による同心円状の鋭い干渉縞が作られる。この干渉縞の鮮鋭さを表す量をフィネスといい,ファブリー=ペロー干渉計の特性を表す重要な量である。明るい縞(ピーク)の間隔は位相差で表すと2πであり,縞の半値幅をεとすると,フィネスは,で与えられる。
