Abstract

A simple method for mapping the surface defects of a Fabry-Perot étalon is described. Images of the fringes of equal thickness are acquired as the plate separation is altered in a stepwise manner. This information is processed to yield a map of the location of the surface defects, and can be further used to estimate the effect of varying plate reflectance on the instrument function.
