    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Spectroscopy
    • Interferometry
    • Physical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Fabry-Perot interferometers are crucial for high-resolution spectral analysis.
    • Multipass configurations enhance spectral resolution and signal throughput.
    • Accurate modeling of line shapes is essential for interpreting experimental data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To experimentally validate a theoretical model for Fabry-Perot interferometer line shapes in multipass mode.
    • To assess the model's predictive accuracy using known Lorentzian line shapes.
    • To identify key parameters influencing the observed spectral line shapes.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized three distinct Lorentzian line shapes generated via scattering processes.
    • Employed a Fabry-Perot interferometer system in both single-pass and triple-pass configurations.
    • Systematically varied the pinhole diameter to observe its effect on line shape.

    Main Results:

    • Demonstrated good agreement between experimental results and model predictions in most cases.
    • Identified the single-pass contrast (C(1)) as the primary adjustable parameter for model fitting.
    • Observed minor discrepancies in some cases, with plausible explanations provided.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed Fabry-Perot interferometer model effectively predicts spectral line shapes in multipass operation.
    • Experimental validation confirms the model's utility for analyzing spectral data from scattering processes.
    • The single-pass contrast is a critical factor in accurately modeling interferometer performance.
