Abstract
The physical difference between the concepts 'Fabry—Perot interferometer' and 'open resonator' is discussed. It is shown that the use of the term 'Fabry—Perot resonator' for open laser resonators is incorrect both from the historical viewpoint and from the viewpoint of the physical meaning of the processes occurring in these resonators.
