Summary
This study explores the optical transmission of moving Fabry-Perot interferometers using relativity. New applications and interferometric schemes are proposed for moving devices.
Area of Science:
- Optics and Photonics
- Relativistic Physics
Background:
- Fabry-Perot interferometers are established optical devices.
- Historically, they have been treated as stationary systems.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the optical transmission of a longitudinally moving Fabry-Perot interferometer.
- To establish a general relation between transmission coefficient and velocity under uniform motion within the framework of relativity.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of optical transmission of a moving Fabry-Perot interferometer.
- Application of relativistic principles to derive transmission characteristics.
- Investigation of both uniform and non-uniform motion scenarios.
Main Results:
- A general relation between transmission coefficient and velocity for uniform motion is established.
- Features of the transmission spectrum for moving interferometers are analyzed.
- The non-relativistic regime and its application prospects are evaluated.
Conclusions:
- Moving Fabry-Perot interferometers exhibit unique transmission properties.
- Novel interferometric schemes, including velocity-scanning and hybrid configurations, are proposed.
- The study extends the understanding of interferometry to dynamic, relativistic scenarios.
