'Noninverted' Interference Fringes upon Light Reflection from a Fabry-Perot Interferometer with an Asymmetric Diffraction Mirror

摘要

This paper describes the calculation, fabrication, and experimental investigation of a reflection two-mirror interferometer whose front mirror is asymmetric in reflection and made as a thin-layer diffraction metal structure (Al, Ag) in combination with a dielectric coating (MgF_(2), ZnS). In reflection, this interferometer creates in the zero diffraction order a transmission-like pattern similar to that produced by an ordinary Fabry-Perot interferometer operating in transmitted light.
