An etalon is a piece of glass with two plane parallel reflective surfaces. It will transmit a comb of frequencies separated by (c0/2nL)
The transmittance spectra for two etalons with thicknesses of 2mm, etalon indices of refraction of 1.5, and reflectances (on both surfaces) of R = 50% and R = 90%. The laser is an argon-ion laser operating at a center wavelength of 514.5nm and the beam is entering the etalons at normal incidence

The transmittance of a Fabry-Perot etalon for several values of angle. In this case, a Fabry-Perot etalon is used with an argon-ion laser operating at a center wavelength of 514.5nm. The etalon thickness is 2mm, the etalon index of refraction is 1.5, and both surfaces have reflectances of 90%. The angle values are θt=0 radians, θt=0.005 radians, θt=0.009 radians,and θt=0.02 radians.
The transmittance of a Fabry-Perot etalon for several values of length. In this case, a Fabry-Perot etalon is used with an argon-ion laser operating at a center wavelength of 514.5nm. The etalon thickness is 15mm, the etalon index of refraction is 1.0, and θt=0. Thelength values are L =15mm+0nm, L =15mm+1nm, L=15mm+10nm, and L =15mm+100nm.

Fabry-Perot Etalon for Longitudinal Mode Selection in
Laser
Single frequency operation of a laser can be obtained by placing an etalon inside the laser cavity. The laser will lase in
the one longitudinal mode that represents the transmission overlap between the laser modes and the etalon modes.

Q-Switching and Mode Locking
Q-Switching and Mode Locking
Q-SwitchingArtificially induced relaxation oscillations in order togenerate a high-intensity pulse
Q = 패스당 저장된 에너지/패스당 흩어진 에너지
Mode LockingShort-pulse generation by controlling the relative phasesand magnitudes of the various longitudinal modes in the laser

Q-SwitchingQ-SwitchingPrinciple of the operation⇒ The quality factor Q of the optical resonator of laser is degraded, i.e.,
the losses are increased.⇒ The population inversion, i.e., the gain builds up to a very high value.
⇒ The Q is restored, i.e., the losses are lowered.
⇒ The gain is now well above the lowered oscillation threshold value.
⇒ A giant pulse is generated.
